extent with smaller companies on Tugs and barges, Survey ships and Drill ships respectively. I have been done
marine surveys for international and Singapore companies since 1999 on a free-lance basis. I was also a
Charter’s Representative in a Shipping Firm and a Container ship Planner respectively.
I have been a Chief officer since 1996and the ships I have severed on are Neptune Crystal, Neptune Amber and
Neptune /APL Tulip. Prominent example is that I re-floated the Neptune Amber, which was grounded off the Torres
straits 1997. We saved millions of dollars in not calling for salvage assistance or causing damage to ship or
injury to ship personnel and not polluting the sea at large.
