Scenario: Filipino 2nd Officer, offered $3,200/month basic on a Panamax bulker.
Compare: Published ITF Uniform TCC + IBF framework wage tables put the 2nd Officer basic on a Panamax at $3,000-3,500 typical range as of 2025. $3,200 sits mid-range. Fine but ask about: (a) overtime rate and cap; (b) 8-day leave earned per month; (c) allotment percentage.
If offer was $2,400/month: Well below TCC minimum for the segment. Red flag — decline or negotiate. If offer was $4,800/month for the same role, ask what's different (union coverage, cargo type, safety incentive).
