Simon Dutt

Marine engineering professional prepared to bring high standards and results-driven focus to role. Expertise in ship system maintenance and repair, ensuring peak operational performance and safety. Reliable team collaborator who adapts seamlessly to dynamic maritime environments, leveraging technical skills and effective communication.

With 5 years of experience as an Engine Cadet and Engine Watch Rating on ships, I have developed a strong set of skills in engine room operations, maintenance, and safety procedures. Over the years, I have been responsible for operating and maintaining the ship’s main engines, auxiliary machinery, and other critical systems, ensuring their smooth and efficient operation. I have gained hands-on experience in troubleshooting and repairing mechanical issues, as well as performing routine maintenance tasks to prevent breakdowns and ensure the reliability of the ship’s propulsion and power systems. During my watchkeeping duties, I have monitored engine performance, fuel usage, and other key parameters, ensuring all equipment operates within safe limits while keeping accurate logs. Safety has always been a top priority, and I have participated in emergency drills, familiarizing myself with firefighting, abandon ship, and other critical procedures. I’ve also been involved in ensuring the ship complies with safety and environmental regulations, such as MARPOL and SOLAS, contributing to the vessel’s regulatory compliance. My time working on ships has also strengthened my communication and teamwork skills, as I’ve worked closely with senior engineers and crew members to ensure the ship operates smoothly. Furthermore, I’ve continued to develop professionally through ongoing training and certifications, particularly in modern marine technologies and systems. This combination of practical experience, safety knowledge, and continuous learning has equipped me to contribute effectively to the safe and efficient running of a vessel.

I enjoy a variety of activities that keep me active and engaged. Swimming is a favorite because it’s both relaxing and great exercise. I also love cooking, experimenting with new recipes, and creating delicious meals. Reading books is another passion, as it lets me escape into different worlds and learn new things. I enjoy Making Friends and connecting with people from different backgrounds, which enriches my life. Lastly, I love exploring new places, whether it’s traveling to new cities or hiking in nature, as it allows me to experience different cultures and broaden my perspective. All of these activities help me grow, stay healthy, and enjoy life.

In addition to my experience, I have had the opportunity to take an international vessel trip to Japan and Korea as a Marine Engineer. During this trip, I gained valuable exposure to international maritime operations, working on board a vessel while navigating through diverse waters. This experience not only allowed me to apply my technical skills in a global context but also provided insight into different maritime practices and regulations. I had the chance to collaborate with a multicultural crew, which further enhanced my communication skills and adaptability. The trip to Japan and Korea was an enriching experience that broadened my professional perspective and strengthened my ability to work in diverse environments.
