Summary

PERSONAL PROFILE.

With an expansive maritime career spanning over two decades, I have navigated through the multifaceted offshore oil and gas industry, climbing from Operations Lead to Offshore Installation Manager, paralleled by a distinguished 24-year voyage at sea culminating in the rank of Master. My journey is a testament to a relentless quest for excellence and an exemplary record of leadership.

My substantial tenure in offshore operations is marked by pivotal achievements in cargo handling and the training of maritime personnel, strengthened by strategic alliances with the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) and the Marshall Islands flag state. These partnerships have been instrumental in maintaining maritime licenses and enterprise viability.

Armed with a Master CoC (unlimited), a Diploma in Applied Science (Shipmaster), and a Master’s in Transport Management, my approach to maritime logistics mgt. has been transformative. I have excelled in integrating maritime operations with advanced logistical frameworks, optimizing operational costs, and improving supply chain efficiency—all while steadfastly upholding safety and environmental protocols.

My comprehensive understanding of compliance has guided my management of warehouses and hydrocarbon storage with a focus on safety, precision, and regulatory observance. As a leader, I have maintained rigorous standards, ensuring alignment with international and national directives. My ability to strategize and communicate effectively has fostered robust relationships with diverse stakeholders, cultivating a collaborative environment that drives success.

The resilience, emotional intelligence, and adaptability that define my leadership ethos are critical in mastering the dynamic maritime industry’s challenges. Technologically proficient, I am adept with the Microsoft Office suite and continuously enhancing my Python skills to refine my analytical capabilities. My maritime security proficiency is all-encompassing, including risk assessment, ship security plan administration, and adept crisis management.

My operational skills cover ballasting, crew management, navigational safety, and emergency responses. A rigorous approach to vessel sanitation, supply chain, and inventory aligns with strategic, analytical problem-solving for seamless operations within regulatory frameworks

Dedicated to lifelong learning, I am continually upskilling in Cloud Architecture, Data Analysis, and Cybersecurity. My career embodies innovation and a deep-seated commitment to maritime excellence, shaping the industry’s future leadership landscape.
