I’m a day rate with a company in Coventry. It was £130 a day 4 on 4 off but then the boss argued that that rate included any nights out, so dropped my wages to £110 a day, but is paying nights out at £25. Which was previously extra.
But for a 60 hour week working out at about £7.80 an hour I’m getting racked off with it. It was OK when I was on 10-12hr shifts, but now they’re pushing for 15 hour days with 9 hours off each night for as much as possible.

Agreed, or if you are salaried then stop using POA, soon you’ll find your hours racking up and they’ll have to cut your hours back.
If on a day rate as such then you’re buggered cos stand down will cost you not them, so look elsewhere or go see the tight arse and get that £130 a day reinstated and £25 for the nights out on top, but do at least cut down on POA, its a fiddle mode to make you work unreasonable hours.

Assuming you are doing 5 day’s, £550 for 60 hours is not £7.80 per hour 
It works out at just under a tenner. And if you were to have breaks deducted as most hourly paid jobs do, it’s over a tenner.
Not that bad tbh.
May be a bit Off topic,
but what does Maritime mainly do? Containers or Curtainsiders? Or a bit of both

Which part of 4on-4off is confusing you?

They used to be solely containers, but in the last few years developed their ‘distribution’ side, which uses curtsainsiders. The distribution side is growing all the time, and if it hasn’t already equaled containers, it can’t be too far off. Answer to your question - a bit of both.
As far as I’m aware, or certainly through my observation, if you’re on containers you stay on containers, and if you’re on distribution you’re 99.9% on distribution (you get a very occasional run to Felixstowe if distribution is quiet).
