About me
I am a Captain with Tarmac Marine. I joined the Merchant Navy (which is commercial shipping, anything other than the Royal Navy) as a trainee deck cadet when I left School. The cadetship included 3 years at Strathclyde University working towards a BSc in Nautical Science, followed by a year at Sea as a trainee deck Officer. Once qualified I sailed as a Deck Officer on Cruise ships, Super yachts and Antarctic expedition vessels. In recent years I sat exams to climb the rank structure and last year I was given command of a dredging ship operating in and out of London.
