A strong technical background is essential, with the ability to manage all engineering responsibilities as well as command of the vessel.
The program will suit an experienced Captain with strong engineering knowledge, or an Engineer with command experience on similar-sized vessels. This is a very owner-focused program, with an emphasis on quality, efficiency, and professionalism.
