Volodymyr Topal

About

My name is Volodymyr, I am 29 years old, and I have progressed from Fourth Engineer to Second Engineer in just two years. This rapid advancement has been the result of my strong determination, hard work, and passion for engineering. I genuinely enjoy what I do, and that has played a crucial role in my career growth. I have been working as a Second Engineer for the past year with a stable position in one company. I currently serve onboard one of the newest ROPAX vessels equipped with a hybrid propulsion system and next-generation ABB Azipods. My key strengths lie in problem-solving and leadership. I prefer managing people in a friendly atmosphere, leading by example rather than authority. I developed and refined my management skills during my HELM training courses in the UK. I have also completed High Voltage (11kV) training at the management level, also in the UK. Since 2021, I have been employed by the British company P&O Ferries, working in an international crew environment where the English language has never been a barrier to my professional growth and promotion. Outside of work, I actively engage in sports and continuous self-development, primarily in the field of marine engineering.
