What I'm looking for

I’m looking to grow in LNG/LPG shipping business and operations—liaising with masters, charterers and agents, aligning technical teams, and applying my TCP/fixture and geoscience background to support terminal and contract decisions.

I’m a shipping-focused business developer and LNG/LPG operations specialist based in Portugal, working in shipping since June 2020. With 5 years’ experience on the Operations department on the Brokers’ Charterers’ and Owners’ side, I combine commercial execution with strong technical understanding.

In my current role at Bureau Veritas, I’m responsible for liaising with Masters, Charterers and Agents and closely working with the technical, marine and crewing team. I focus on the terms of TCP, Linkedin performance of the fleet, and ship-shore compatibility studies with loading/discharge terminals.

Earlier, I worked as an LNG Operator at BW LNG and as an LPG Operator at FEARNLEYS, handling the operational part of the fixture and working closely with Charterers and Owners. I’m familiar with Asbatankvoy and Shelltime 4, and I’ve supported contract and charter party execution through my Supply & Trading Business Services background.

Before transitioning fully into shipping operations, I built a deep geoscience foundation through roles as a Geoscientist/Geologist and Petrophysicist, including Offshore Wind projects and CCS work. I also bring practical experience with Seismic Interpretation, Petrophysics, and basin modelling using ArcGIS and Zetaware tools—plus continued learning through LNG Shipping and Renewable Energies studies.
