The road is never wide enough, always looking to widen my path and horizon. I did in the past and continue to do not only in my job but also in my personal life, my family and friends and everything that we come across in life.

Maritime Academy with an internship at Nedlloyd realized quick there is a large world outside Zeeuws Vlaanderen. Adventure was calling being  independent and compromising brought me to many locations and occasions. Came across all the Oceans and saw all the continents, many countries, ports, cities and yes airports. Working on board a ship is an akward environment for the people who have not exposure to it. You will have to get along with each other during working hours on board and after work on board, because in an emergency you have to count on each other to safe lives, your own and that of others.  I was fortunate to be exposed in my 1st job ashore to a wealth of knowledge and various ship types. The experience i build  and knowledge i absorbed has been instrumental in my professional career.

Maritime career and with seatime Chief engineer All Ships, unlimited horsepower ( even steam ( old school))

Progressed carreer as a delegated authority for a IMO memberstate, Marshall Islands

I normally don't look back, but when i do (quick) with the years behind in the Maritime Industry, i am considered an Expert. 

Blink with your eyes..….and there are new rules or regulations or in the make…..

On top of the documents the operations, technology and IT continues to develop. It is impossible to stay ahead of the developments, so just follow on the 2nd or 3rd place will bring you where you need to be or can finish.

I am curious how you or we can do to be on 1st place, but it is easy to loose or fall off. 

Putiton-E is opening that opportunity. Let's do it……

PS: i am not a Nike person
