Yeah thats what the say, close to north sea rates. If you call 480 usd for sub engineer and 580 usd for the top bunch of supervisors (not all) then they are. Comparing these rates to the rate chart, i think they are still a fair way down on world wide rates. Although higher than some others in asia (but not mermaid, subsea 7, rovtech, or canyon)
i have the above rates from a friend who works there so they are spot on the mark
also there are special rates i hear for those that know the special handshake and walk around with 1 trouser leg rolled up (thats what i heard anyway) also there are people there who get paid door to door, no travel rate and others that don’t. So it dosen’t seem very transparent and also the above rates seem higher than those posted on the rates chart. So it’s hard to really tell what the top rates are.
perhaps mr ROV ooops could enlighten us? (wink wink, nod nod, a little pressure to the third knuckle)
