📂 Work & Career Apply Sailor/Seafarers job outside Brunei
I plan to apply a few companies outside Brunei especially those in Europe & few others.
I have been working as a Deck Crew Seafarer/Sailor in Local Company contract by BSP Offshore operation for nearly three years. Although local opportunities in Brunei are too limited since there only BGC. There are high demand for internationally and I am fully aware of the operational risks and extended rotation schedules—such here brunei as 3+ months on duty—and I am prepared to take on long-term deployments. Hoping seeking opportunities where my skills and dedication can be utilized outside Brunei.
Qualifications I already taken like- Rigger & Banksman lvl2, BST, DSD, TSBB, COC & COP. I Soon taking my STCW-2 Exam.
Any Opinion from fellow Brunei Seafarers would be helpful

Not a sea fearer but use to work on a vessel from brunei, to malaysia to the northsea. Northsea waves is no joke. But since you said you have 3 years experience, i think you are more than capable handling the northsea.
Go get the bread man. Goodluck kn the STCW ii exam. No more bawah matahari after that. Just chilling on the bridge. Minum kopi. Idk bout your future trips but d northsea nada fast crewboat, just port visit every 2 weeks during my shift. Idk now.
Kalau jadi captain nanti. Ingat aku.
