I, 37 years old, have been a seafarer for thirteen years, with a monthly salary of 71,800, exposing the real life of a seafarer
The life of a crew has long been regarded as a profession full of mystery and romance. However, the real life of the crew is often little known. As a seafarer who has been working on ships for thirteen years, I wanted to shed some light on the realities of the profession and to make people aware of the hardships and challenges of the profession.
Working at sea is not easy, and crew members need to endure various pressures such as loneliness, extreme weather, long working hours, etc. I remember one time we were caught in a storm, the hull shook violently, and the sea water kept pouring into the cabin, and the fear and uneasiness were unforgettable.
In addition to the difficulties posed by the natural environment, the crew also has to face various challenges in their work. On ships, long working hours and little rest time, especially on long voyages, often require several days of continuous work. This high-intensity work rhythm puts people under tremendous physical and mental pressure.
However, despite the difficulties and challenges of life as a crew, it also has its beauty and meaning. On the ship, I met many like-minded partners, and we supported and encouraged each other to face all difficulties together. Moreover, the salary of the crew is also quite good, especially for the crew working on some high-level ships, the monthly salary can even reach tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.
Still, there is a huge cost to the crew. Working at sea for a long time, separation from family and loneliness are problems that every crew member faces. I remember one time when I missed my child's birthday, and I still can't let go of the pain of not being able to spend time with my family.
In the face of the hardships and challenges of crew life, we need more people's understanding and support. Behind the silent dedication, the crew also needs to receive the attention and respect of the society. Let's focus on the living and working conditions of our crews and create a better working environment for them, so that their hard work can be duly rewarded.
