A typical Career
A typical Career
It all starts with a year working on tugs
A typical Career
Many people think they want to have an unusual, glamorous career
on the high seas. For many it is true and for some others, it is not.
A typical Career
The only way to find out, is to take a year off from school and see
exactly what happens.
A typical Career
Another part of tugs is having the talent to get
things to operate the way you want.
A typical Career
It is kind of like a video game. Only, instead of “game over” you cause
expensive damage.
A typical Career
In that first year, it is necessary to see if you have that talent.
A typical Career
If you have the will and the talent you will be ready for a career on
tugboats and barges!
A typical Career
A typical career path follows. Keep in mind that you have
no guarantees and your future may be quite different.
However, the future of the marine transportation industry
looks very bright in this growing industry!
A typical Career
Unlicensed Deckhand
Licensed Steersman of Towing Vessels
Licensed Mate of Towing Vessels
Licensed Master of Towing Vessels
A typical Career
Unlicensed Deckhand
You spend your first eighteen
months as a deckhand.
A typical Career
Unlicensed Deckhand
Your goal in the first ten
months is to determine if a
marine career is right for you.
A typical Career
Unlicensed Deckhand
You will be paid about
one hundred dollars per
day or $26,000 per year.
A typical Career
Unlicensed Deckhand
A USCG approved evaluator
will determine if you have the
talent to operate a tug.
A typical Career
Unlicensed Deckhand
The remaining six months you
prepare for school and apply
for a steersman/mate
apprentice license.
A typical Career
Unlicensed Deckhand
After approval, you attend
school for one month.
A typical Career
Unlicensed Deckhand
Oh yeah! Deckhand
responsibilities include other
fun stuff.

Officer Assessment Record” to
see what you will learn.

After twelve months as
Steersman you can apply for
an upgrade to mate.
A typical Career

to the mate of the tug and life
is easy! Right?
A typical Career
Unlicensed Deckhand
Right! However, you are now
responsible for your own watch!
A typical Career
Unlicensed Deckhand
You are the person in charge
(PIC) when the Captain is
sleeping.
A typical Career
Unlicensed Deckhand
At first you will have some
moments when your hair will
stand on end.
A typical Career

with time. After a while it will
be like driving a car.

captain can be woken up.

some extra shut-eye to pay
him/her back.

the paper work and overseeing the

license to Master.

of towing vessels!

When the Master is onboard
the tug the Relief Captain
does the Mates Watch.
A typical Career
Unlicensed Deckhand

don’t worry. You will understand
after one hitch on a tug.
A typical Career
Unlicensed Deckhand
So when do I get to become
the Captain of the tug?

It all depends on when
positions become available.
A typical Career
