[Martin Hw]

I just want to get on one and work, dont expect pay just food and water

is this possible?

I've had a quick scout for you... http://www.freighterexpeditions.com.au/cargo-cruises They seem to require around about $100-$150 per day.

http://matadornetwork.com/notebook/how-to-travel-by-cargo-ship/.. these cost more than a flight in most cases, but a great way to travel. Shame you cant work your passage eh!

Crew work might be more up your street.. ...https://www.crewseekers.net/sailingopp.aspx?scat=1&pro=-1&loc=2&typ=-1&feq=-1&sloc=-1

Or knocking on boat doors down by the harbours.. placing an ad even http://www.floatplan.com/crew.htm

Hopefully you will find something. Good luck

Thank you so much

Im desperate to do this, gotta keep looking

Singapore would probably have more ships going in that direction.

to-legally-work on ships you need a seamans ''passport/booklet''. OZzieland sticks to rules-and you likely know about its struggle with many intended asylum-seekers, so this will be enforced.

A-but unlikely- possibility might be a hand on sailing yaughts-for which Sin is not a good choice, but rather Phuket-again you wil need enough experience to be not much of a burden.

There is a few going to Christmas Island looking for crew

My mate helped crew a delivery ( New Vessel ) from Singapore to Turkey and I know he did one to OZ maybe check out with boat builders

I sometimes have more free time than I expected between contracts. So I got to Thailand. Not being in a particular hurry, I tried to find a way to get on a ship from the US to Asia or Thailand directly if possible. I wanted cheap. I wasn't looking for anything fancy. Just the experience and a week or two dieseling across the Pacific. I figured I can help cook (really did use to own a restaurant or two), do dishes, whatever. I am an engineer, and thought maybe even help with some general "Go fer ing" tasks while on the trip.

The old "Tramp Steamer" that you hear about from old novels. I couldn't find anything. Many Large vessels remodeled cabins and now run them as a kind of luxury class tour, and charged several thousand dollars. That was exactly what I did NOT want.

Yacht's out of Penang, Phuket, Langkawi, are your best option. Friends of mine have crewed out of Penang.
