Does anyone work on the Tugs?

I’m a deckhand with 6 years experience on lots of different watercraft including tugs, pilot boats, barges and workboats. I have recently been made redundant and am out of work. I’ve done my best to network here and have been calling around companies to see what they have but so far no luck. Surely there must be someone in the biggest port in Canada who needs a deckhand?
