Really speaking I envy marine engineers,whne they are in ship they get good compensation,and if they are in ship 6months they get a 6 months off with full salary,they also get a chance to travle to far off places and get benefits of duties,they got a adventorous life and can spend more time with family compare to others!!!!

I can make having relationships difficult, however many merchant marine employees have very successful relationships, it all depends on you. Same goes for the military, truckers, oil field workers, commercial fishing and many other occupations that require one to be away from home for periods.

I think marine engineers are lucky guys having multiple relations, on shore and off shore. 😉
Hope you don't get stuck in a submarine or an offshore rig. then you are screwed.

Life onboard depends on people you meet. Meet rubbish people and your life would be worst than in hell for your whole duration onboard.
Meet nice people and you would really be enjoying the work onboard. And thats extremely true.
2 kinds of crew inside the engine room. Engineers and Engine ratings.
Ratings include:
Engine Cadets,Greasers,Welders etc
Engineers include:
Chief,2nd,3rd,4th,5th and Electrical Engineers
Your life onboard would revolve around work,eat,sleep,tv,exercises(depends on availability) and occasional shore leave. Do not expect shoreleave everytime the ship reaches a port. It depends on your C/E.
Ranks below 2nd Engineers does whatever is being ordered by him because he is incharge of engine room with Chief Engineer overlooking everything.
C/E duties
overseeing everything. getting instructions and information from captain
2/E
Incharge of engine crew. In charge of machineries like Main Engine, Referigeration systems, Fuel treatment systems etc.
3/E
Incharge of boilers,generators
4/E
Incharge of air compressors, bilge level, pumps. Occasionally electrical systems if electrical engineer is not available onboard
5/E
Learning how to be an engineer
Welder
As suggested. Welding
Greasers
Assisting Engineers on watch. Cleaning etc. Basically they are formally cadets who never took engineers license.
Cadets
Do whatever thrown at you. Ranging from cleaning jobs to assisting in repairs.
If you are joining as cadet, I would suggest to be humble onboard. Learning from textbooks and doing something in actual is totally different. If u need more advices regarding what kind of stuff to bring onboard as a cadet, feel free to send me a message.

I'm just starting out as a marine engineer, i work for BP and we do between 2 and a half and 3 months on the ship, theoretically!, and then around 2 months off. For the senior engineers, eg. 2nd and Chief, they work on a back to back basis. Meaning, for example, two Chief Engineers work back to back, one does three months while the other is at home for three, then switch. You get the same pay packet each month regardless of being at sea or at home.
Cheers, Chris

i am also doing B.S marine engg from BITS OFF CAMPUS in madurai (T.N) life in ship
is somewhat difficult in ship while joining as deck cadet and we can also enjoy and
get more knowledge which deponds on senior engineers .you can also marriage

and take ur oun dacision.thank u have a good future. contact:jayaganesh.mariner@gmail.com
