Written into there contracts!?!?! Surly that would mean they are FULL time employees with all the benefits would it not and with my past experience i have never come across a company which says that......MMWC seeing as you are a company within the industry and if your willing to answer would you...

Hey guys, Just interested in individuals and what they are doing within the industry refs working for one set company or keeping themselves open for a handful, and what i mean by this is are you able to deploy tomorrow for more then one company ??? Just interested guys as for the last...

Well i think we have flogged this for all we can get gents, best saying yet must be "we will agree to disagree" and i think this is what this site is best for. Everyones opinions be that if you take it to hart or laugh them off all have relevant input to this thread / conversation. Gareth you...

Bleep85, mate im sorry to say but i think you need to get down off your box, Gareth is only putting in his opinion which in this public forum he is entitled to do along with yourself. Mate ive been doing maritime now for a little over 8yrs, and the "FACT" of the matter is this Advanfort do have...

One of the main reason these guys are not being reported is because of the companies themselves.....they are meant to be doing the checks, doing the due diligence but they haven't. Granted its not good refs the false certifications but when it does become public and people are named and shamed...

I do agree with you "GARETH" 100% and only wish what you dream as such could come true for all of us self employed / sub-contractors but the truth of the mater is that it won't probably never in are life times. As i have said i agree with you but on the other hand they are running a business So...

As always people are in-titled to there own views from there personal experiences, best mates info or just general gossip. Bleep85 mate you can't blame someone for listening to others, after all this is how this industry works 95% of the time with recommendations etc. Advanfort dont have a great...

59nyb - No mate its not the same in fact your probably over trained and your certification is again probably better recognised around the UK / world!?!?. As for TP in the south west that does the MFCC there really is only one and thats "the tunnel" in Dorset, but from what you have been told...

CPOgroup - mate to try and answer your question then i would say no its not worth while having the individuals in full-time employment, but this does depend on weather you have so much work on that you are finding it hard to recruit the security then if that was the case and you can foresee your...

Hey guys, Just want to stick my 10p worth in as sometimes i do!!!!, Ok first of all 3rg is run by two VERY experienced individuals form the maritime sector who i have worked with personally, so yes they do have an ability to pass on there knowledge even if they are not an "operational company...

Darren7455, mate none of what i said is direct at you personally its just my observation of what i have seen of the lads who i know and have worked with, again this is my opinion. What ever you decided to do within your life i truly hope you the very best and im sorry this sector hasn't helped...

Hey guys, Like trueblue I have had the pleasure of working in maritime for around 8yrs now and I have never been out of work (touchwood), this has only been down to the fact that i have chased work, i have got off my ass and done the leg work that was needed, and have went from contract to...

Guys what a load of crap! Sorry to say this and only wish i could agree with most of your statements but this is bollocks and its wrong to single out one company in particular like Ambrey. Ambrey do not choose Indian MSO just because they want to **** over the lads, they do it because they...

Pug, Mate i have worked and been on Henderson books since 2008/9 they where and still are a good company, they did go off the scene for a while especially within the maritime transit sector due to the lack of work, this was also due to the fact that Henderson didn't want to drop its wages...

Rich1262, Mate even tho you have no experience, no military background this doesn't anyone, I myself have worked with a few individuals that have broken the mould and don't a-dear to the normal "must have tick list". BUT please be aware that what most of the lads have said above is the shitty...

mmmhhhh, not sure how take the last few comments especially when it comes from a "super moderator", hopefully with a pinch of salt!!! The truth of the mater is that within the maritime sector there are a few qual's that cost a huge amount, mostly for the over heads of having an instructor...

Gareth, Mate where is "There have been some major attacks off Oman as of late" or should i ask where are you hearing this from any int is welcome and if you have a different source from a few of us this would be handy, Cheers Bevs

Never really heard of any distance training like your asking apart from the normal degrees in security management / diplomas etc but there is VideoTel who do an excellent online SSO course + CSO and FPSO. These courses allow you (i think) up to 9mths distance learning and then you send in your...

Have to agree guys the west Africa work has been around for a huge amount of time and the security sector alone has always been very good out there with (at times!!) very good working conditions and excellent rates of pay and if you are the luck sod who gets to work for the oil company direct...

Have to agree with Trublue, but then the scary thing is lads actually want to go to the citadel when they do have weapons!?!?! why is this even an SOP. If your a company and an armed one at that and your armed security team on-board goes to the citadel with guns and ammo left then i'm not sure...
