I had my doubts about my English skills, but I decided to join Portline's crew. The company has its pros and cons, but overall, it's possible to work there. A significant downside for me was the leave pay that was withheld; I received it only 1.5 months after leaving the vessel. I learned about this leave pay from locals just before my contract started. Transporting cement with Portline is a common practice, but fortunately, I avoided that fate. Overall, you can talk a lot about it, but if you want to try Portline, go for a trip with them; the path of a seafarer is not always easy.
