I was offered a position as a wiper through Eurobulk. The interview was postponed several times, and the company eventually stopped responding to me.
I worked through Eurobulk on vessels operating in Venezuela. The operation involved using AIS and IMO details that did not reflect the actual voyage, and there was pressure to load more cargo than the safety limits allowed. Supplies were very poor and crew changes were delayed, although wages were not delayed.
I worked through Eurobulk from 2017 to 2021 on newbuild handysize bulk carriers. The work was good until the management changed, after which the situation deteriorated. I left as a fitter, and no fee was charged for leaving.
I started working through Eurobulk on river-sea vessels, including tugs. At first I was paid on time, but later salary delays reached two or three months, so I left immediately.
I worked on a tug arranged through Eurobulk. The food was plentiful, the workload was reasonable, and the crew was good. Wages were delayed by about two weeks, but I was warned about this in advance and everything was paid in full.
After the management change, the owners decided to completely reorganize the company, change its name and even the address to clean up their reputation. I worked two contracts with them, and I have no desire to cooperate with them again; my health and nervous system are more important. Working at this company feels like playing Russian roulette; you might have a decent experience, or you could end up in a situation that makes you not want to go to sea again.
I had a real start in my position on tankers with Eurobulk Agency. The growth was fast if you are adequate, and there was minimal paperwork on board. The salary was paid without problems, with occasional delays of up to a month, and the salary level was average. There were significant bonuses for repair work on deck and in the engine room. However, the fleet is old, and there are specific issues related to the fleet's work. The rest, like food and conditions on board, depends on the captain.
