About

I have been working on different kinds of yachts as deckhand, second officer and chief officer during the last years. That has given me a good knowledge of the deck and bridge departments of a boat. I have worked on commercial yachts where ISM and ISPS were used. I have experience with class and flag surveys, Port State controls and also with shipyard work, including new builds. I would like to find a job as Chief Officer on a boat where my skills gained during these years could be useful for the team. I am a very organized person. I enjoy learning from everyone and from every situation.
