Re: river barge jobs I worked for Basin Marine in Berwick several summers in college. If you could pass a piss test you were hired. Didn't pay much, if you wanted to make money you needed to get on the MS or ocean tugs and get a captains license. It wasn't bad work though, especially for a college student...

Re: river barge jobs Try Florida Marine, Kirby, or Southern towing if you want to get on the river. My first choice would be Florida Marine.

Re: river barge jobs Depends what type of vessel your trying to work on. You will have to get STCW certified to work on any U.S. Coast Gaurd inspected vessel.

Re: river barge jobs No.....you cannot recieve it online. It's a week of training (firefighting....first aid/cpr.....water survival/helo safety). As for the cost i'm really not sure. The company that i work for has their own school and have been approved by the USCG to train and certify their employees free of charge.
