I have been working in the shipping industry for over 16 years, with 11 of those years spent working onboard DYT/EMT ships . Through this experience, I have gained a thorough understanding of submersible shipping operations. Prior to my time with DYT/EMT, I spent 5 years working with other shipping companies. In 2013, I transitioned to a shore-based role as an engineer/loadmaster for DYT/EMT. In my current position, I work with a team to manage the operations of DYT ships and strive to improve safety and operational standards onboard. Additionally, I have collaborated with the engineering team to ensure that DYT/EMT materials meet the latest standards and requirements.
