Norway

The safest way to start at sea. Accommodation, transport, and the job itself provided from day one.

For anyone without experience, working at a Norwegian fish factory is the shortest path to a serious paycheque. Companies provide your accommodation, transport, and the job itself — you bring the will to work.

Why Norway? A complete package from day one.

  • Accommodation, transport, and the job all provided by the company

  • Average pay — €2,300–2,700 per month

  • Workweek — 38–40 hours

  • With overtime — up to €4,000 a month and beyond

  • Pay is higher than in other EU countries

Who gets hired fastest? A clear edge at selection.

  • People with English at ~50% proficiency

  • People with forklift experience

  • Those who answer the first call promptly and clearly

Who can apply? In practice — anyone willing to work.

  • They also hire people without experience

  • With English it's easier and faster

  • Without English it's still possible — but it takes more effort and a translator

  • Recruiters personally call the candidate (in English) to gauge how serious they are

Some companies require a letter of recommendation from previous jobs. If you don't have one, Captain Andrian writes it for you — included in the Captain Package.
