| 11/04/2009 - 04:53 | Hi all, I served with Shell Tankers (UK)Ltd for 33 years, before emigrating to NZ. I then spent 8 years trading around the NZ coast on the NZ flag tanker 'Taiko'. I have been consulting for the past 5 years for MaritimeNZ (2 yrs), Interisland ferries ( 2 onboard audits) and presently with PBSea-Tow (NZ) Ltd. I have been involved in bringing the ISM system 'online' for our new NZ flagged bunker tanker 'AWANUIA' ($000dwt) based in Auckland. It keeps the brain active and pays for the holidays. Like to hear from you |
