I’ve supported offshore rig personnel transfers, bulk-liquid transfers, and oil-equipment operations aboard the MV Pioneer P PSV with TML.

I operate dynamic positioning systems and support offshore positioning and supply operations, drawing on Dynamic Positioning Advanced Class 2 training and experience aboard Marlog (Chouest) vessels.

My background spans PSV, tug, bulk carrier, and underwater operations, including bridge watchkeeping, tanker mooring, cargo equipment checks, deck handling, and navigational watch duties.

I bring disciplined STCW and HSE practices, clear communication, and a commitment to continuous learning across navigation, ECDIS, emergency response, and vessel operations.

However, I would like to branch off to different fields.
