Website Salty Yachts Australia

Australia's Yacht Delivery Specialists

Our standards are high, but crewing yacht deliveries with Salty is rewarding. We continually seek good people to join our team: masters, engineers and crew.

Yacht deliveries allow you to gain experience on new vessels, in new operating areas, with new people. The depth of experience you can gain is diverse, and no two deliveries are the same.

You’ll also accrue sea time. If we’re delivering a commercial vessel, you may be able to use this sea time towards a commercial Certificate of Competency.

Many of Salty’s crew work elsewhere, and fit deliveries into their schedule when they can.

What you’ll do:

Join us on delivery and help us to deliver a boat from the origin to the destination.

Experience:

• Required experience varies between each delivery
• Crew are selected to match each vessel and delivery passage

Requirements:

• Hold the necessary qualifications
• Have experience to suit the boat and passage
• Provide your own PFD, harness and tether. PLB is recommended
• Hold a passport with minimum 6 months validity for overseas travel
• Have a flexible schedule
• Be fit and healthy
• Don’t get seasick

Your home port can be anywhere in Australia as many jobs are fly in, fly out (FIFO) within Australia and overseas.

Remuneration:

• Freelance positions are both paid and volunteer
• Paid positions receive a day rate DOE
• Own ABN required; this is a freelance contractor position

What’s provided by Salty?

• Paid crew: transfers to and from vessel, all costs whilst aboard are covered including food
• Volunteer crew: all costs whilst aboard are covered including food; you are usually responsible for your transfer to and from vessel

The most important character traits that delivery crew can possess is a friendly attitude, a willingness to help and a desire to learn.

Salty strives to build long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with people we like and trust.

CAL-WEST Specialty Coatings, Inc.

A Green approach to prepare and protect high-value surfaces.

Earth-friendly chemistry from Silicon Valley that also increases efficiency and profitability.

For over twenty-five years, Cal-West Specialty Coatings has been the leader in innovative products that prepare and protect high-value surfaces during construction, refinish, and in-transit operations. Cal-West's customers include some of the world's largest, most respected companies who distribute its products globally.

Cal-West serves a broad range of markets including: automotive, marine, manufacturing, construction, and aerospace.

Its patented offerings are not just green, they're extremely effective. The guiding principles for each product are to increase throughput and reduce rework and returns. "Getting it right" the first time improves profitability and keeps users competitive.

Biodegradable

Cal-West's "wash-off" coatings are ultimately biodegradable. They provide superior protection compared to plastic and other masking materials and don't end up in landfills.

Recycled Content

Cal-West's peelable coatings utilize a resin system manufactured from post-consumer recycled materials that provides superior film strength, durability and longevity.

Super-low VOC

VOCs contribute to smog formation. Products that reduce them make for cleaner air to breath. All Cal-West products comply with California's VOC regulations, the strictest in the world.

Key applications for Cal-West products

Booth Maintenance

Cal-West brings a clean-room mentality to spray booths. The trapping and removal of contamination, combined with products that optimize lighting and make booths more servicable, deliver superior paint jobs without rework.

Liquid Masking

With liquid masking, body shops can eliminate overspray damage and its associated costs for as little as $10 per vehicle. The result: reduced cycle time. Not only that, but a shop's dumpster will no longer overflow with plastic.

Corrosion Protection

Best practices dictate that factory-level corrosion protection be restored when vehicles are repaired. Cal-West's corrosion inhibiting compounds packaged in convenient aerosol cans make it fast and easy for repair facilities to do the right thing.

Scratch Protection

Many high-value surfaces are part of construction projects (e.g. a yacht or oil/gas platform) that require months of even years to complete. Cal-West's peelable coatings protect surfaces from damage until final delivery to the customer.

Cal-West: Always innovating

Many industries rely on chemicals as an integral part of their production process. Regardless of the kind of manufacturing business you are in, your product was made in part with chemicals. The logistics involved with the import/export, transportation and storage of chemicals is complicated and needs to be handled by experts with many years of experience in the industry. There are also many regulations and restrictions as it relates to the safe transportation of chemicals and every country has its own set of rules.

Our chemical shipping logistics services include:

• Expert consultation on rules/regulations pertaining to the shipment of chemicals.
• Management of customs document preparation and clearances.
• Ensure the safety of people, the environment and products during transit.
• Precision guidance on the best way to transport different chemicals.
• Clean, safe and secure storage facilities available.
• Management of all required paperwork, labeling and licenses in order to ship product.
• Proactive, rapid response customer service teams.

Contact Us Today!

The transporting and storage of chemicals should not be left to inexperienced people, as the need for safety and assured delivery are too great. You can count on the dedicated professionals at MOL Logistics USA to handle every aspect of your chemical logistics needs. Our many customers have turned to us as a trusted partner and so can you. Contact us today to learn more about how we can make the complicated job of transporting chemicals around the world much easier for your operation.
