What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a more corporate, visionary, and flexible working environment where I can contribute strategically through maritime, international affairs, and R&D experience while ensuring professional balance and continuity.

At Türk Loydu, I manage external affairs spanning international relations, flag and port state coordination, R&D, public affairs, media, partnerships, and maritime events. I also lead the organization’s R&D activities and have established and managed its R&D Centre, including internal and TÜBİTAK-supported projects.

With 30 years in shipping, I bring seafaring and ship-management experience alongside technical command of the ISM Code, ISPS Code, MLC Convention, marine inspection, and classification society coordination. I’m seeking a corporate, visionary, flexible environment where I can contribute strategically while maintaining professional balance and continuity.
