BRIEF SUMMARY:
Since retiring from the sea in 2004, I have been actively involved with ISM/ISPS matters
as an independent consultant, and with ship safety inspections/audits representing various
flag states.
I have set up complete Safety Management Systems for two different companies
operating off-shore supply vessels in Trinidad where I was residing until March 2010. I
maintained these management systems and did internal auditing on their vessels as well
as on other vessels in Trinidad.
In April 2010 I relocated to Spain, and since 2011 I am representing Liberia again on a
free-lance basis (paid by the job), doing annual safety inspections, MLC2006 inspections
and ISM/ISPS audits, getting on average 2 jobs monthly.
Having spent most of my working life at sea, I am happy to remain involved in the safe
operation of ships and since I have no other professional activities at this moment I am
looking for additional work on a paid-per-job basis.
