My Maritime Experience includes: Tug & Barge operation for marine construction, coastal towage, Landing barge operation, vessel deliveries, tourism vessels, charter vessel & yacht handling experience. My early marine career I started work on private charter vessels, & progressed to medium and large tourist vessels over a number of years gaining experience as a GPH and gaining my sea time to obtain my Master 24 qualification. I have completed many sea hours as a watchkeeper on both single and multi-hulled vessels up to 62m. I have been Master and chief mate on a range of Tugs up to 36m. Master in charge on Coastal 22m Tugs & Brisbane river tugs to 15m and Master on 43ft Sailing Catamaran. My most recent advance in career was gaining my Master 45 qualification and my Navigational Watch Rating.
