Yes you can still work at sea. I'am hbsag reactive since 2003 and still working at sea. The medical doctor will just needed from you a hepa profile to know if your a healthy carrier and cannot be transferred to your crewmates.
I'am still looking for a cure..My Hbeag is non-reactive, i've already consulted a doctor before and she told me that it has no cure. So I've just continue my life, always pray to God and eat what ever I want.

if you take antivirals you can even be a dentist because the only way to transmit the disease is by blood contact.so you just take tenofovir and you are ok but before starting the antiviral you need to check your status and if needed:
fibroscan
hbsag quantity in iu/ml
hbvdna
hbeag/hbeab
liver function
ultrasound
