Marine Superintendent

We are a Singapore bulk carrier owner-operator with commercial and technical management under one roof - about 40 people, one office, and no overseas head office to wait on for a decision.

This is a hands-on marine desk, not a mailbox. You will sail out to your ships, stand on deck during inspections, sign your own findings, and see your recommendations implemented across the fleet. The role carries a defined path to Deputy DPA/CSO for the right Master Mariner.

What you will own

.The marine standard across your assigned vessels - navigation, cargo, mooring and bridge navigation practice. You set the expectation with the Master, and you verify it onboard.

.Vetting and RightShip performance. You attend inspections in person, and you close out Flag, Port State, Class and charterer findings with the support from the team members.

.Incident investigation and CAPA. Root cause analysis on casualties, near-misses and off-track performance - and ownership of the corrective actions and preventive measures until they actually work.

.The safety management system. Plan and conduct ISM/ISPS internal audits ashore and afloat, review procedures, and bring forthcoming IMO, Flag and Port requirements into the system before enforce.

.Crew competence. Sail-in training visits, Master and senior officer briefings, and input into the recruitment of senior sea staff.

.Deputy DPA/CSO duties - supporting the DPA/CSO on ISM and ISPS matters and standing in during absence.

What you bring

.Class 1 Certificate of Competency (Master Mariner). Command experience preferred.

.Solid bulk carrier background - you know IMSBC, stability during multi-port loading, hold cleaning, and what a failed hold inspection costs.

.Working knowledge of ISM, ISPS, MLC and the RightShip / Port State regime formal internal auditor training an advantage.

.Sound judgement under time pressure, and the confidence to give a Master an honest answer.

.Willingness to travel at short notice.
