Thanks for the video. It's cool to be able to show your family what exactly you're doing.

[@Berncarp707]

Sometimes I miss this. Worked for Chouest for 8 yrs. Good job. Good company.

[@barbarahammer9037]

can some oil rigs workers buy computer data for there computer offshore online on the oil rigs they are working on ??? yes or no. good show and the music is good too, thank you..

[@christopherhenson7034]

Depending on the rig and position will depend on your interent access. If you are just a hand, good luck getting anything reliable. Bandwidth is a precious commodity.

[@bobbinman123]

I'm a Cadet at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy, and Ill be doing my commercial ship next summer, would you recommend Chouset for your commercial ship? Do you want to work on OSVs?

[@m.leinewolczko]

Yea, I liked it a lot and I learned a great deal. I do plan on pursuing a position with an OSV company next year

[@m.leinewolczko]

Good luck with your commercial, its a great time!

[@rags-fv6ko]

Port fourchon ! I sure miss the offshore life

[@cameltube-vk7el]

78-81 Intracoastal City mostly Arthur Levy Entp. Cozumel Island, San Jose Island, Padre Island....ya those were the good ole days....I wonder if these were where paper mates come from [school time rating] thats what we called them if this is them now? Next best thing to military time working the boats...no combat just rough seas good crew....bars and cajun women... /;^) any idea where this is? I seen a Candies boat pass by

[@edshelden7590]

Great video. Was M/V Gavea "Hovering" beside the Edison Chouest? Is the M/V being helmed controlled manually? or Is there some sort automatic stabilizing and positioning system? I am catching up on your video posts.

[@m.leinewolczko]

MV Gavea is the name of the ship, Edison Chouest is the company. Most platform supply vessels (PSVs, or OSVs, offshore supply vessels) have DP (dynamic positioning) to keep them in place during transfers. You have to have your DPO (dynamic positioning officer) certificate to work on these vessels as a mate/master. The drill ship is a different company, Ensco DS-5 was the name at the time. Drill ships are also on DP and the same goes for their officers aboard.

Я работаю на ледокольном судне снабжения в Охотском море. Всем коллегам спокойного моря и 7 футов под килем!

[@shanebowman7611]

Hey I'm a CMA cadet about to pick a commercial cruise and I'm looking into chouest. Did you get into any dynamic positioning stuff while you were with them? Did you end up working for ECO after you graduated?

[@m.leinewolczko]

Hit me up on instagram, I don't come on here much. @madeleineannawolczko

[@Joelontugs]

My dad was a captain for them not that long

[@sjem618]

5 guys on deck for connecting a bulk hose? I'm working on a supplier in the North Sea and we've only got 2 AB's for that. But anyway, good luck finishing your studies and becoming a mate!

[@m.leinewolczko]

Haha I guess the Gulf is a buncha amateurs. Thanks :)

[@m.leinewolczko]

Do you like your job in the North Sea by the way? I'm going to be looking for a job in less than a year and I'm feeling out different options.

[@sjem618]

Madeleine Wolczko Shure! But I'm European, I don't know if there are any Americans working on the North Sea. Maybe some on the offshore construction or offshore support vessels. You only need a strong stomach to survive winter, the weather here is horible compared with the Gulf of Mexico. On the other hand, you sail on seaworthy ships and there are a lot of career opportunities.

[@m.leinewolczko]

sjem618 Haha, yea I figured that was the case. Well cool, thanks!

[@johnbradley3348]

Hi

[@timandrews5730]

Who cooks on the boats do they have chefs and maids ?

[@m.leinewolczko]

On these boats they have a cook. I work on containerships now and we have a Steward Department that consists of the Chief Steward, Chief Cook, and Assistant who takes care of sheets/towels for the officers

[@andrewmccray]

Cool Video! I'm a cadet at TMA and about to go commercial. Did Chouest treat you ok? Did you get any DP time?

[@m.leinewolczko]

Thanks :) Yea, it was generally a really good experience. Sometimes it got a little boring, but any job in this industry is going to get boring at times. The crew was great and they let me drive and work the DP system regularly.

[@dalephillips7576]

Just retired from ECO after 20yrs., started as an OS and retired as Master. ECO treaded me just fine.

[@timothywalker4563]

I had wondered about drill ships, this beats the heck out pizza delivery 🤓

[@m.leinewolczko]

😂😂👌

[@arazhdenizci3908]

this is what happen , so we need get a call american personal onboard...Now !! looks back here...where's kingspoint..talk to an a phone...big money !!! talk to an a phone...kings ?? where he is ?? kingspoint ??....goodgirls

[@pedroalves2351]

Funny thing to see... Here in Brazil, you can`t step on top of cargo and neither work without coverall and we have THOUSANDO of papers while doing this kind of operation because of Petrobras regulations. It seems like life onboard ECO is simpler on USA!

[@cameltube-vk7el]

back when I worked these [78-81] we did not even wear life preservers unless shit was serious i.e. rough seas...right now I can not recall ever wearing one...wait, except for Personal Basket transporting off a crane lol...

[@terabaap2385]

Too much of safety paper work there days....

[@gilmarswm]

your job ?

[@m.leinewolczko]

This was years ago, I work on containerships now.

[@gilmarswm]

@@m.leinewolczko my dream, I already worked on an FSV tug

[@m.leinewolczko]

Cool!

[@gilmarswm]

@@m.leinewolczko For me to work in these American companies I have to speak English or basic can I? because I am Brazilian I speak Portuguese and a little English.

[@m.leinewolczko]

Unfortunately you have to be a USA citizen. Or at least have a green card. I've heard it's difficult for foreign citizens to get into but I don't know the details

[@andrewsails1371]

Wow your AB's/Riggers are so unsafe, walking on the loads, pinch points out the wazzu, and touching the loads just to name a few... ECO is a unsafe company to work for!

[@cameltube-vk7el]

@@bradysmith5604 right...Intarcoastal city 78-81 Island Boats, Arthur Levy Entp. out of Morgan City.......Lils Elbo room ha ha ha

[@tovemaersk]

Single length of casing at a time? Man your unions must have some mussel to wreck a job like that.

[@m.leinewolczko]

STAG This wasn't union work.
