Coastal Transportation, Inc, owns five freighters, each about 260’ long. and 1600-2500 tons. We deliver cargo from our terminal in Seattle to towns in Western Alaska and the Aleutian Islands, such as Sandpoint, Chignik, King Cove, Cold Bay, False Pass, and Dutch Harbor.

We have an immediate opening for a relief cook to sail on February 10. If the relief cook works out, there is potential to sail full-time as cook throughout the rest of the year.

The ship’s cook prepares three to four meals a day for a crew of nine people. The cook does not work on deck. Cooks do not work cargo operations nor do they tie up the ship. The average voyage is 24 days long. For approximately seventeen days out of the voyage, the cook will prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Breakfast generally occurs between 0530 and 0630, lunch between 1130-1200, dinner between 1730-1830; HOWEVER, meal hours can change quickly based off of cargo operations. During cargo operations, which take up approximately seven days out of the voyage, cooks also prepare a meal called night lunch which is eaten approximately at midnight.

There is only one cook aboard each vessel. The cook needs to prep all meals, cook all meals, do light baking, clean the galley, and wash the dishes. There are no steward’s duties to perform, such as laundry or cabin cleaning. During times of maximum cargo operations, the cook is also expected to keep the main passageway and ship’s head clean. This is approximately four days out of a voyage.

You must have experience cooking at sea to work as cook aboard our vessels.

Cooks must be completely insensitive to sea sickness. Our ships roll and pitch heavily on the open sea. If you have a tendency to get sea sick, do not apply for this job.

The quality of meals can make or break a voyage. We expect our cooks to be as excellent at their job as our crewmembers working cargo.

FOOD ORDERING

All food is purchased by a food vendor working from an order sheet from the ship’s cook. Cooks are responsible for taking a galley inventory at the middle and at the end of the voyage. Food orders are sent down by the cook halfway through the voyage to our food vendor. On the day before the next voyage sails, the cook will receive the food order.

After a trial period full-time employees are eligible for medical /dental plan and a 401k retirement plan. Applicants must pass a pre-employment drug screening and be vaccinated.
