Master Oceans 1600 / Third Mate Oceans 2000

Objective

  Professional experience aboard, oilfield supply vessels, lightering support vessels, seismic research, four-point anchor dive vessels, government defense specialty vessels, and casino vessels. I have advanced my skills as a mariner through the “hawse pipe” to become a Captain, crew leader, ship handler and earned the trust, respect of my shipmates. My diverse offshore maritime experience has given me a solid foundation to advance in the future of offshore, towing and dynamic positioning vessels. Experienced in the Offshore Oil Industry, and versed in Safety Management Systems, Vessel Operations, ISM and ABS Nautical System, NS5. I possess a strong work ethic, remain highly motivated and safety oriented at all times.  Please review my professional maritime career on LinkedIn, www.linkedin.comlin/boatcaptainmike/
