Working in the Bering Sea:

Working at sea is physically and mentally challenging and requires long hours in remote locations, often several days’ travel from the nearest port. Our deck and processing crews work 16-hour shifts, 7 days a week. Most trips average 4-5 weeks in duration, but depending on the fishing season, catch rates, weather, vessel size and other factors, trips can be as short as 10-12 days or as long as 60+ days. Crew members generally work multiple trips (2 months or longer) in a single rotation.

Compensation, Travel & Expenses:

Chief Engineers receive the higher of crew share percentage or a guaranteed daily rate. Daily rates are determined by the hiring manager (VP of Operations). Crew share calculations are based on the net adjusted sales. Net sales total is calculated by accounting for certain operating costs such as bait, fuel, observer expenses, etc. 40% of net sales go to the officers and crew. 

All travel for officers is arranged and paid for by the company, including flights, hotels, and meals while traveling.
