Review of work on the vessel Purus Chinook
Overall Impression: My experience working on the Purus Chinook was generally positive, despite some shortcomings from the managing company. I'd especially like to highlight the excellent provisions for food and internet access, as well as the comfortable atmosphere within the engine room.
Food: The food on board deserves the highest praise – it was excellent. Meals were consistently fresh, varied, and incredibly tasty. The chefs demonstrated high professionalism, and there were never any issues with the quality or quantity of the food. This significantly improved daily life on board and contributed to a good mood among the crew.
Internet: The provided internet data allowance of 1300 MB per day was more than sufficient for staying in touch with family and managing personal matters. The connection speed was stable, allowing for comfortable use of messengers, Browse news, and even occasional video streaming. This is a huge advantage during long periods at sea.
Engine Room Crew: Relations with the engine room crew were normal. All personnel were professional, cooperative, and willing to help each other. The working atmosphere was calm and productive, which facilitated efficient task completion.
BSM Company: My experience with BSM company was not very good. There were issues with communication, the timely resolution of certain matters, and overall customer-centricity. I would hope that the company pays more attention to improving interaction with seafarers and enhancing the quality of their services.
Recommendations: The Purus Chinook can be recommended for those who value good food, stable internet, and a friendly atmosphere in the engine room. However, potential employees should be prepared for possible difficulties in interacting with BSM company.
Conclusion: Despite the complaints regarding the managing company, working on the Purus Chinook proved to be quite comfortable and productive thanks to the excellent onboard conditions and a good crew.
