Ship navigation

• Life and work conditions on the board of offshore oil rigs are heavy and strict.
• Drilling, construction or metallurgical workers on offshore oil rigs and their respective assistants work outdoors in rough weather conditions.
• Timetables and shifts are another very important subject when it comes to oil rig jobs. They vary, depending on the company and the type of position. A very general type of timetable is consisted in fourteen days on, followed by fourteen days off.
• Hourly schedules timetables for oil rig jobs vary from 80 to 100 hours/week and this may seem like a very long and tiring working week on oil rig platform. But, it should be considered that offshore workers are in the workplace 24 hours per day.
• On the other hand, time off on oil rig jobs is one of the attractive side of this sort of posts. Few positions on offshore jobs offer the workers so much time to carry out their private and familiar activities or to devote to another job or business.
