I'd also say that when I got my MED in 75 and joined CP Ships as REO you were expected to earn that extra pay. Had to look after a range of equipment from steering flat, through the engine room and with regard to the chemical tankers the cargo control room and tanks for the level monitoring systems.
When they made the decidedly bad decision to take the Leckies off the ships that workload was increased for both myself, the Third Engineer and the Chief. You didn't get that much time in port anyway on those ships. So in that last ten years from 76 to 86 there was plenty to do.
