| Foul Weather Gear Foul weather gear is essential to enable work during rainfall and other precipitation. This is an external link to Grundens, a foul weather gear supplier. Foul weather gear is important for comfort in mild weather as well as severe weather. Some companies may provide foul weather gear and some suggest that crews procure their own foul weather gear. In your selection, consider quality, geography, comfort, flexibility, safety and price. What works for the Barent Sea in November might not be suited for Miami in the summer. |
| Galeton Work clothes can consist of anything from your most comfortable flannel shirt and broken-in jeans to mechanic's coveralls. This link is to a supplier of industrial work clothes. Some ferry operators may provide uniforms for certain positions. Other times, a crew decides on their own what they will wear..all depending on the position and the interfacing with passengers and the policy of the ferry operator. If overtime work or an emergency pops up and it means working in a "roll-up-your-sleeves" kind of duty, keeping a set of those disposable paper coveralls in your locker can come in handy. |
