Would like to know if the bonus in shipping industry is usually fixed (HR told me about 3-4 months including AWS, or can be higher). What I know is the shipbuilding industry is not doing very well right now, so I'm wondering if I'm taking a risk by accepting a lower basic pay. HR also said it is normal for people in this industry to receive a low bonus and get 'reimbursed' via high bonus.
Any inputs?

There's no such thing as fixed or near fixed bonus. Honestly speaking, the shipyard can pay more than 3-4 months of bonus during good times, but times aren't really good right now so expect much less than 3-4 months.
