Try Capes : 01224 763800 ask for Meegan or Mike Baxter in Recruitment. They phoned me on Monday for trip out on the Tuesday, but I had to cancel at the last minute due to commitments that came up at home. Give them a phone mate,you might get lucky. You got a CV in with the big 3, you got to keep phoning them every day..xmas coming up too, you might get the sweet phone call for xmas trip.:bigsmile:

Big 3: Capes, RBG and BIS Salamis. Get your CV in with them. Who were you with out in the Dutch sector, I was out there a few months ago with Cape..Staying on the Seafox 2 jack-up along side Totals K6 c/p... was a sh*t hole,grub was crap too. Let me know how you get on mate...Good luck!!
I know it's not best time of year to get offshore work but have just about completed my bosiet and mist and medical . Where is my best chance of getting a job offshore ? Am I best with agencies to start with ? If so which agency ?any advice would be much appreciated thanks
I got to agree with AOM here,there will be guys looking to skip doing their crimbo trip and get the time off to be at home( Don't blame them, done it myself in the past). So your best bet is to get your CV into:Capes,RBG and Salamis(Sharpish), and tell them that you are available for work and if you are willing to work over Xmas and New year period let them know. Good luck mate.
Yeh its worth a try, but lets see if you still want to work christmas and new year in 3-4 years time when you havent seen your kids open there presents on christmas morning for 3 years and your wife and kids are crying at the train station because they dont want you to go back and work another christmas, hence i will will just jack if they try to make me work again this year, and it makes no difference weather you have holidays in or not!

A phone call cant hurt. 
Im currently offshore in Holland, but i do not think the bosiet taken in UK covers working outside the uUK sector, anybody know? I have Norwegian cert and think was one of the last to take it in the UK 2Yrs ago.
Does anybody know which company is involved in the offshore work in Blackpool with all that gas they have found? Know there taking local labour first but dont know who is taking them, anybody know?????????????

Ive always wanted to work offshore.
Its one of the only things ive got left to do, in this game if you know what i mean.
The money, what ive been told was pukka, but slowly its been going down a bit, year by year.
Depending on where you live, you might as well earn as much onshore on a Powerstation/Oil Refinery.
Im not 100% sure but ive been told that its about £750 a week or so.
(I got big ears and an even bigger mouth, lol)
But i have NEVER worked offshore, so some of the other guys will more then likely tell you different.

Am working on power stations now clearing between £600-£800. But wanted to go offshore for the experience and the money but for what a read on here some lads make it sound like **** money and basicly impossible to get offshore... And that the only good thing is that you get away from the wife and doing the dishes!!! Lads saying they get offerd 18months work then get fcukd of after 1 trip...
off shore rate
offshore rate from rigs Yarmouth Norfolk is around 1400 after tax.
thats around 20quid an hour i think but i have not done any off there for a while. i am on the barges now and i dont have to pay tax so we get more
