Experienced operating, commissioning, delivery a of high specification DP drillships.I have a great interest in ships (traditional ocean liners, passenger ships and luxury yachts too). Some people join this industry for reasons I can't explain and for reasons that might not align with interest ro character. My interest has been clear and evident since youth. As a kid I wanted to design today’s cruise ships. I foresaw the growth in the industry across all segments of cruise travel. In high school, I was nominated for a Bank of America scholarship for industrial Arts for my boutique ship designs work (age 17). In college, I envisioned a market segment that is now satisfied by Ritz Carlton and Scenic. I am well informed of the various market segments. Eventually, I want to be captain ships under 30,000 tons in this market.Getting there: To advance my license, I must sail as Master of vessels 100 GRT to 1600 GRT or under 3,000 GT. Or, Chief Mate of vessels in excess of 1600 GRT. I am open to OSV/Research vessel mate work that will accrue Chief Mate time.Along the way, I seek real development opportunities to become ever more marketable and more useful. It's about CAKES: Competence Authority ( license) Knowledge and Experience. Through effective decision making and risk assessment, I have achieved an incident free record to the benefit of stakeholders and peers. Comfortable with assuming leadership roles, I am also analytical. I pay attention to detail. I can see things from a management perspective as well as in field.
