WorkOcean

I also heard this, first hand from a mate who was 7 weeks late getting paid for a job for Aleron Subsea, who are owned by the same people as Workocean.

Apologies Dan, I was told by someone who worked for Aleron, that your brother was the owner of Aleron. If this was wrong, then I am sorry for passing on duff information

A few years back I worked with Workocean on a few occasions and never experience late payment. The rates were good, the communications and travel arrangements were on the ball.

Based on past experience I wouldn’t hesitate in working with Workocean again.

Dan,

I was stood corrected, until a conversation i just had, and it turns out it is your brother-in-law who owns Aleron Subsea, so a bit of semantics from you there!!

Why would you feel the need to hide such a connection?

Alan.

Is he hiding a connection?
What if Dan is no longer married? What if neither company has current connection but may have in the past?

This is all getting rather personal.. discussing, on an open forum, someone’s brothers, brother in-law etc. I’m sure you’d not be too happy to see your possible family or personal business connections being discussed on-line like this.

BTW Dan was a co-administrator of ROVworld until he censored a thread removing criticism I posted of WO (07) when I was trying to get paid. I then complained on the forum about the post removal. He was subsequently removed as a co-administrator and admonished on the forum, though James did not name him.
Interesting that James did not mention that when you were inquiring into WO’s integrity.

DANFROV is part of the webteam, on a personal level, but (as far as I can recall) has never been a co-administrator as it’s only the site owners that are co-admins.
Now it’s being suggested that it’s ‘interesting’ that I have forgotten something that may have happened in this forum in 2007. I guess that’ll be me trying to remember something a few thousand posts ago! As it wasn’t a life changing event for me, that’s probably why I didn’t recall it!

I try not to name people (personal names) as this is a public forum. Name companies by all means but not people.

This is now a pattern appearing, not an isolated incident, so people do need to be aware, and should be able to pass the word on to others without fear of reprisals.

I agree. If there is a pattern, and not an isolated incident, then post it.

If others have experiences with WorkOcean, positive or negative, they are free to post those also.

Earlier I posted to say that I did some work ( a few trips) for WorkOcean (a few years back now) and at the time did not have a concern with payment. Based on my experience I’d work with WorkOcean again.
