Rest assured of a dedicated, conscientious, work attitude with zero tolerance on non-adherence towards environmental pollution and safety issues. My ship related past experience forms the essence of my confidence. I have considerable workshop experience, done new build takeovers, Owners Observer for ship takeover, dry-dockings and have excellent administrative skills too. I believe in maintaining transparency in informatory updates between ship and office, and apart from seeking logistical support, usually, I am able to get by without technical assistance/guidance from office personnel, just their required awareness.

[I strive to keep abreast and personally ensure (and have to my credit) -best results in face of PSC /USCG /inspections / safe voyages/charterers- owner interests. I encourage a harmonious interdepartmental atmosphere onboard and pride myself on being a very tolerant, versatile, amicable person personally or professionally.

*Sailed as Observer- Chief Engineer representing buyers, for purchase of vessel. Did complete inspectional /operational coverage from engine room bilges to crane turret tops to examine defects, structural wastage, machinery operations, PMS, fuel, lubes, spares records, inspection of ship certificates from Chinese Captain. Was able to send evidence to portray accurate ship condition, despite seller’s tricks, non-cooperation and being barred from sending images via ship en route.

*Was sent with all new engine room hands on a vessel that had earlier grounded. On reaching, the Chief Engineer declared he was not taking charge and was a passenger; (refused to come to ER and wanted to get off the ship owing to the numerous machinery /operational troubles). At the behest of the company, I revived this unseaworthy trouble ship with fully loaded D.R.I. cargo and crossed the Atlantic with new engine room team, all 3 aux engines unreliable and failing, one working main air compressor, in-operational purifiers, main engine rpm not rising above 53 rpm, boiler malfunctioning, water in diesel/ fuel lines. Later also found solutions to the Brazilian and Indian attending marine workshops technical problems . The British engine specialist also confirmed that my diagnosis, systematic and remedial measures were accurate. I ensured the ship reached safely and lives were saved as acknowledged by all persons aboard with the Captain personally repeatedly coming to the engine room to pass company messages and show appreciation, especially after maneuvering. I left the ship on rectification of all technical setbacks and declined a promotion as chief engineer, as well as a job offer in the US- Houston from a very senior technical head Mr. Jaffrey due to ill health.

Thereafter, within 15 days of joining ship , got the same vessel shipshape, cleared by MCA without a single finding, when the office was expecting over 25 deficiencies due to poor ship condition.

*Planned and received fuel bunkers while sailing at dead slow ahead due to weather conditions on two occasions.

*Done PSC/ USCG preparations worldwide with no department related deficiencies till date owing to my guidance, initiatives to update myself / ship personnel via internet, and my demonstrations (including in-charge abandon ship & fire drill in presence of USCG) as requested by Captain.

*Received Certificate of merit awarded by Anglo Eastern onboard vessel, MV. Mol Prestige with Japanese owners saying the engine room was like a sewing machine and their inspectors could not find any fault.

*Received USCG certificate for rescue and tow of 5 American fishermen and their vessel. (When almost 5 hours of unsuccessful attempts by the deck personnel owing to rough sea state, later, after discussion with the captain, I went on deck, assessed the situation, thereafter instructed ship movements on walkie-talkie and got the stricken vessel successfully rigged to the ship within 35 minutes and towing done until handover of vessel to USCG).
