We have nearly 200 people on board at all times involved in nearly as many different tasks. For any technical position, such as mine, starting pay is right at $100k. Up to ~$180k with experience. We work even time; 21 days on, 21 days off.

Very little motion during regular operations. This is a very large ship with a deep draft and lots of stability, which makes it a comfortable ride. The GOM is relatively calm, save for summer squalls and hurricanes.

All of our equipment is manufactured by Kongsberg, best known for their defense systems. We use similar technology, but ours is much more dense in terms of system automation, integration, and redundancy.

Most sailors die with their pants around their ankles. But officially, no -- nothing is allowed over the side.
