Accommodation, meals, internet, rotation schedules, medical cover — the things that don't appear in job listings but matter most.
Almost all modern vessels provide single-berth cabins for crew — a meaningful quality of life improvement over older vessels with shared cabins.
Meals are provided by the ship's catering department. Quality varies by operator, but food cost is never the seafarer's expense.
Most operators pay flights to the joining port and home at contract end — always confirm explicitly before signing.
MLC 2006 requires employers to cover medical treatment for seafarers while on contract — including evacuation if necessary.
Most vessels now provide crew internet access. Bandwidth and cost (if any) vary significantly by company and vessel age.
At sea, accommodation, meals and transport are covered. Most seafarers save a much higher proportion of income than shore-based equivalents.
