Do you mean the Tanker ships? Very boring life. I did several years on board those vessels. They dock far away from cities so little chance to unwind. Container ships are much better. I experienced pre-internet times when we relied on letters for news from our families. We usually received them in two or sometimes 3 months. Imagine learning about a death or a birth in the family after 3 months. Then the internet came. Not much difference. Sometimes even worse as you'll learn of mishaps in the family instantly and you can't do anything about it as you can't go home right away since you're in the middle of the sea. Aside from that, you really can't roam around freely in every nook and cranny of the ship. Too many hazards and off-limit spaces.

In Europe there is a large system of rivers where a fleet of oilbarges, varying in size from 1200 to 9000 tons dwt, facilitate delivering oil- and chemical products throughout Europe. Sailing on narrow waterways with lots of challenges en route. Please make a movie about the life on board those ships as crew is almost impossible to find.....

[@HRHolm-bi6zu]

It would be interesting to work on a tanker, my only hesitancy would be the rough, stormy sea conditions that they can run into. I wonder how good the pay is, depending on the occupational specialty involved. I woold presome the cooks eat quite well, hopefully the crews do to. A real perk is the availability of a gym, and probably a good running track along the ship deck perimeter, although there may be restrictions on that. I wonder if any of these might also carry a few passengers, it would make for an interesting excursion. Wonder how much leeway the crew have in visiting ports of call, given where oil tankers go, i.e., the Middle East, crew members might have to observe some precautions on shore leaves. But they probably can sample some unique cuisines in cafes and restaurants.
