I am a licensed master mariner and a US citizen with an unlimited deck license and multiple certifications in ship finance, oil and chemical tanker operations, and security and awareness.I am adept at identifying problem areas and taking corrective actions, as well as identifying needs to drive process improvements and bottom-line gains. I have successfully negotiated charter party terms, vetted vessels, managed voyages, and resolved cargo shortage and contamination claims with insurers. My mission is to ensure legal compliance, implementation of Charter Party terms, operational efficiency, and customer satisfaction in every aspect of my role. I am passionate about the maritime industry and eager to learn new skills and technologies to enhance my performance and contribute to the success of UNIPEC and its clients.Currently, I am in charge of validating and approving all payables and receivables.
