How much stress gets passed on to you when coast guard inspections are coming up? As an inspector I know a lot of work gets done preparing for us to show up and the vessel reps are sometimes pretty tense.

Good that you guys keep everything up. That's usually the difference between an easy inspection and a long one. I do a lot of fourchon and golden meadow so I'm pretty familiar with the area you're describing.

Depending on your experience you may be able to count it towards a license as a master/mate. I know a lot of coast guard boatswains mates (qm equivalent) that do that, and engineers that transfer it over to an engineering license. Definitely worth looking into.

Harvey gulf, Candies, Hornbeck and Chouest are some of the biggest names.
