How dangerous is working offshore on an oil tanker ship?

Its somewhat more dangerous thanks in part to the fact the ship can SINK or be SUNK! Thats rare though and otherwise it will be like any other job.

One minor inconvenience is I hope you don't get motion sick or sea sick, because ships rock side to side and fore to aft, a tanker should be large enough you won't get as much fore to aft movement but I know for a fact you will get side to side movement.

Every job entails a risk. Oil tankers and rigs have many redundant systems to manage or eliminate risk.

The only real danger to tanker ships are from pirates.

The job on tankers is not danerous. There is danger involved but those who work on tankers are highly trained and take their job very serriously. It is because of this that I say that the job is not dangerous.

Another point that I would make in passing is that you just do not walk into such jobs without first having the necessary qualifications and training.

My guess is that your chances of dying are about 1 Million to One "greater" when driving to and from home to the tanker, than working on the tanker itself.

Probably dangerous considering your out at sea. Boat could sink, heavy storms, etc

I don't believe there is anything dangerous about the oil part of the job. If you follow safety procedures, you should be fine.
