Objective
Good day, I seek either a Master or Mates position accordant to my credentials. I would also accept an AB unlimited position, with the prospect of advancement. I am a highly qualified deck officer, with 22 years of sea experience. I have a strong work ethic and I bring a positive influence to the work environment. As your employee, I am dedicated to the company and its mission, emphasizing schedules, costs, and last but not least, safety. I am open to the possibility of relocating. Thank you for your time.
