Kindly be advised, I have over 4 years of experience in the tanker industry as a competitive deck officer, and I believe the knowledge and skills built up during this time make me the right/perfect candidate for the role.
In my current role as a Second Officer at Teekay, I have been responsible for the roles of safety officer, undertaking jobs of the chief officer, which when coupled with my enthusiasm and dedication has helped them to bring up the condition of the vessel in a substantial manner.
