Owner and operator of the world's largest fleet of handysize liquefied gas carriers (LPG, ethylene and ammonia), 50+ vessels.
I came with the three sister vessels the company bought from my previous employer — first through an agency, then transferred onto the company's own manning. The company as such is decent, a level above where these ships came from. The state of the ships is another matter: since the takeover the deck has had essentially no upkeep, my counterpart cannot answer basic questions because the duties were scattered among the ratings, and the crew signs off generous overtime for work that is not visible. If the manning standards catch up with the company's own, these will be good ships again.
I worked in the fleet. Vessels run either under the company's own management or under an external manager, and the difference matters: under the in-house pool the pay is higher and crewing is spread across many nationalities by quota, while the externally-managed ships carry a different crew profile. Supply and internet are good in both. Contracts are permanent. One policy to know in advance: you cannot transfer from the external pool into the in-house one directly — the company requires a contract elsewhere first.
