At Spark Gemi İşletmeciliği, I serve as the primary shore-based marine contact for Masters, supporting voyage execution, cargo operations, inspections, surveys, repairs, and dry dock preparation across Suezmax, Aframax, LR, and MR tankers.

I've combined Master Mariner command experience with Marine Superintendent, A-DPA, and ACSO responsibilities at Palmali Shipping. I bring practical leadership in ISM, ISPS, MLC, OCIMF SIRE, PSC, Flag State, Class compliance, incident investigation, emergency response, and tanker cargo operations.
