Skils
I have sailed onboard US flagged container vessels for 2 years as a 3rd Mate Officer and am currently working with K-Line America as the Fuel Consumption Conservation Center Officer (F3C Officer). As fuel prices rose drastically from 2007-2008, K-Line America created F3C to reduce its container fleets bunker consumption. Since the position has been created in March of 2008, I have reduced company costs by more than $2.2 million by optimizing routes, controlling vessel speeds, and calculating ETAs based on the latest weather forecasts.
I find myself ready for new challenges and believe there would be a good fit between my skills as a maritime officer and your needs. Enclosed is my resume which further outlines my qualifications.
