About

I am an engineer with practical and university knowledge of ship machinery, propulsion, and marine regulations. I have gained training and experience from tanker vessels and apply the same discipline in yacht engine rooms. I have good experience with yacht air conditioning systems, fan coils, water makers, and vacuum systems. I am a team player accustomed to working with mixed nationalities worldwide, with several Atlantic crossings behind me. Experienced in shipyard works on older yachts ass well as new builds and their warranty claims.
