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.
