Crewboat life in Port Fourchon Louisiana

Working on a crewboat bringing cargo to and from the oil field in the Gulf of Mexico

[@christinajohnson2062]

People never understand what I do for a living, they can't picture it really, even my family. This hit the mark

[@jamespuckett7465]

Haul twice the cargo at twice the speed with half the people and half the pay of a big boat. Loved every minute of it.

[@coastiesaurus6810]

So glad I got the hell out of the oilfield and switched over to the USCG, Aviation Branch, HC-130 and HU-25, It was much more fun flying over the oil patch and being home at night with a steady paycheck and not rocking around on the waves. In the oil patch It was steak and weenies from year to year, from boom to bust. No thank you.

[@deeshorty7531]

My husband works out of that same area he works on a tug boat I want to stay just one week on a boat to see how it really feels to be out on the water

[@prestonperez923]

Tug boats are like riding in a car compared to a crew boat like this

[@bubbagrose2186]

[@williampinson1125]

What's that song, and who's that singing? Whoever wrote the song seems to really know the industry. Sounds like he's been on a hitch or two. Sort of a 'sixteen tons' for the oilfield.

[@richarda3989]

Chad Cooke Band - Oil Man. Its a great song! Definitely a hint of the pain and struggles associated with the oilfield or any job that requires you to be away from family.

[@amarjitsingh3275]

Right song music for oils rigs n hard hats

[@nufikuuipo]

I live in canada, I'm a US citizen. I was working for the Coast guard as a cook on vessels with seven people and 45 people. I'm moving back to America. Can I get a job as a cook on a supply boat down there? Up here I have Marine emergency duties which is firefighting and getting in and out of lifeboats, and also advanced first aid. I've got all the cooking certificates needed I think. I lived in Hawaii 17 years, and Ohio for 10 years.

[@titofuentez2340]

Right on man I’m an AB unlimited I’m thinking about getting my 100 ton master but I feel like there’s a lot of competition any advice brother? I also bleed orange

[@richarda3989]

This one is ECO. There are many companies that operate crewboats here in the gulf. Goodluck to you!

[@amana1856]

Super 👌

[@kindpanda1075]

How are the crew quarters for the crew of the boat?

[@timcormier9528]

nice video...had to turn down the sound though.

[@sergiodiaz1660]

Hola como le hago para trabajar en esa compañía? Ya trabaje con una relacionada con ellos mexmar pero me gustaría trabajar en seacor marine como le hago!?? Soy de Mexico

[@TheDustysix]

Starting at 2:27 what are those vertical containers with the funnels on the bottom? I see similar in Railyard videos. Fuel?

[@richarda3989]

Those are dry bulk tanks used for storing and transferring products such as barite and cement.

[@TheJesse1515]

WhAt ECO boat was this?

[@kedricksmith8331]

Do crewboats normally stay offshore or run in and out regularly

[@richarda3989]

They run in and out for the most part. Some companies keep a crewboat handy to run crews about the field or the occasion were the rig isn't ready for the equipment you brought out and ask you to hang out.

[@Josh-iv2bw]

Why do they back up to the rig?

[@denali9449]

To put the boat deck under the rig crane. Makes life easier and keeps the boats bow and house out of the cranes work area.

[@williamsmith8041]

A man just offered me a job on a crewboat.pays $175 a day and their home everyday.what else do they do that's not in this video????

[@richarda3989]

Along with deck cargo and passengers you may also transfer fuel and water. Being home everyday is rare for this type of work and sounds nice.

[@garlandremingtoniii1338]

@@richarda3989 I’m having deep doubts it’s the truth. About being home Every night. I do know for a fact, back 30 years ago when the majors didn’t look, find and drill so far out like they do now, I knew of many crew boats that was home nearly every 24 hours. But, these boats only hauled crews. Nothing else to speak of.

[@darnicebriggs5023]

Edison not going to like this.
