OSS Coastal Energy Resolution [01.10.2010 - 18.01.2011] (ABS Classed
Facility under MODU Code, Marshall Islands Flag) - a permanently moored FSO
in Songkhla-C Oilfield with a storage capacity of 200,000 Bbls and a
loading rate of 15,000 Bbls/Day. During my command (November 2011), a
strong tropical storm hit the coast of Thailand. A swift decision to unmoor
the FSO from mooring buoys and sailing away to a safe area was deeply
appreciated by the Client and Managers. No serious damages and fast mooring
back in Oilfield once the weather improves were proves that my experience
shows expected results. The other FSO in vicinity (Trust Navigator) fails
to unmoor and sail in time leading to serious damages (broken loading hose
and mooring lines, distorted manifold, lost a gangway, capsized mooring
buoy and huge delays on re-mooring / resuming production). Later, this
Emergency Evacuation event was broadcasted to entire fleet as a Circular
Letter, for other Masters guidance.
FSO Taurus [10.04.2010 - 20.07.2010] (224,742 Dwd - ABS Classed
Facility, Malaysian Flag) - an anchored Storage Facility at Port of Tanjung
Pelepas (PTP - Malaysia). Taurus is carrying multiple grades of MGO and
HFO, commingled onboard as per Charterer's needs and then redelivered to
different size tankers (Aframax, Suezmax and VLCC). Being located very
close to Singapore, this is an extremely busy FSO, with frequent double
bunking STS - simultaneous loading and discharging operation. Despite
strong currents in vicinity (Singapore Strait) and hectic schedule (mooring
and unmooring at any given time in daylight or night), all operations were
done safely and timely.
MT Greataf [11.11.2008 - 19.03.2009] (151,445 Dwd - DNV Classed
vessel, Marshall Islands Flag) - a Storage tanker operated in Lagos area.
Different grades of Gasoil and Gasoline are loaded from various tankers
(STS underway), then offloaded to large size Bunker barges. Although
operating in a sensitive environment, through a proper planning and
security awareness, no any security breach accounted during my command. On
completion of my tour of duty, Ship's Management was handed over back to
the Owners. I been approached by the Owners to serve under their flags -
onshore or offshore, but I politely denied. From Greataf I have been
transferred directly to BW ARA.
Specific duties and achievements:
- Responsible for the safe and efficient operation of the
vessel and its crew in order to achieve the desired
commercial and operational objectives.
- Ensure that the vessel is maneuvered and navigated safely and
efficiently.
- Ensure that the Conditions of Charter Party are understood
and met
- Prepare the vessel for Vetting, Audits, Class Survey and
other external inspections
- Ensure that all necessary documents and certificates required
by the various authorities are onboard and valid
- Coordinate departmental functions and activities through the
Shipboard management team and Planning Meetings
- Ensure seaworthiness of the vessel in all respects (stores,
navigation equipment, machinery, etc) prior sailing
- In charge with safe ship's navigation and voyage planning,
ship's stability, communication and administration
- Manage the crew so they know their responsibilities and are
able to perform them to the best of their abilities
- In charge with implementing the ISM onboard
- Person in charge with Emergency Response and Oil Spill
Response Management
- I keep myself updated with latest SOLAS, MARPOL, ISGOTT,
OCIMF, STCW, ISPS, VIQ, CFR, OSHAS, COSWP regulations
- I been chosen twice to be part of Shore - Ship Emergency
Drills (Office Audit for VRP - calling USA ports)
- Experience in ship handling maneuverability - narrow
channels, crowded anchorage, poor visibility, heavy weather,
etc
- Experience in all existing type of tanker mooring: alongside,
STS, CALM, Multibuoys, Tandem, etc
- Sound knowledge of Maritime Rules and Regulations, including
Class Rules and Flag State Legislation
- Experience in protecting ship's interest by issuing Letters
Of Protest and collaborating with P&I Investigations
- Prepared the vessel for Vetting inspections, Class Surveys,
PSC and Audits (Internal / External), all with excellent
results
- Experience in Risk Assessment, Job Safety Analysis and BBS
(Behavioral Based Safety program)
- Supervise and assist the Chief Officer with ship's stability
and cargo related matters - whenever required
- I have an extensive background in computers and computer
programming - I created and developed simple software to
perform stress, trim, stability and Cargo calculations

advanced knowledge of commercial aspects of the maritime
contracts are indicative of my commitment to hard work,
excellent time-management and decision-making abilities.
MT Alpine Emma [14.09.2009 - 02.04.2010] (37,809 Dwd - DNV Classed,
Singaporean Flag) - a newly delivered Product and Chemical tanker operating
all over the world. Different grades of cargo were traded during my
command, ship's cargo tanks being cleaned and accepted for loading at once.
A stretch of bargaining skills during loading operation in Ukrainian Ports
(especially Odessa), enjoying a heavy winter in Black Sea, passing Bosporus
and Dardanelles Strait, calling a few ports in Nord Sea and signing off in
Namibia / South Africa. Passed 4 x Vetting Inspections and 2 x PSC, all
without deficiencies. Quite a boring vessel - professionally speaking,
maintenance limited to water washing and greasing, any breakdown solved-out
through replacement - Guarantee Claims.
MT Viking Crux [17.05.2009 - 22.06.2009] (154,971 Dwd - DNV Classed,
Singaporean Flag) - Crude Oil tanker operating under a busy schedule in
Persian Gulf area. Prepared and passed one vetting inspection during my
short tenure. Loading either STS, at SBM or Shore Terminal, and then
discharging mostly by STS to smaller tankers.
BW ARA [20.03.2009 - 15.05.2009] (294,739 Dwd - LR Classed, Bermuda
Flag) - a Crude Oil tanker operating in Singapore Strait - Malaysia Area.
After a few STS operation in Singapore OPL, Pasir Gudan and Tanjung
Pelepas, I brought the vessel safely in Labuan (Malaysia) for conversion
preparation (all cargo tanks were cleaned during my command, under my
guidance). An expensive project was initiated to convert this VLCC into one
modern FPSO. On arrival at Labuan I been visited by top VIP-s from BW
Offshore and they were pleased with ship's condition and achievements. From
BW ARA I have been transferred to MT Viking Crux.
MT Trust [23.08.2008 - 06.11.2008] (105,896 Dwd - ABS Classed, Panama
Flag) - a Crude Oil tanker operating in Haldia - Kakinada area. Shuttle
operation between 3 coastal Indian Terminals (STS, Multi-buoys and
Alongside Berth mooring). Once the Charterer was completed, I brought the
vessel in Singapore Area (Batam). COW, water wash and gas freeing operation
done underway from India to Singapore, under my direct supervision. From MT
Trust I have been transferred immediately to MT Greataf.
MT Archimid [18.03.2008 - 07.07.2008] (105,896 Dwd - LR Classed,
Marshall Islands Flag) - the sister vessel of MT Trust (next vessel). Area
of operation: Singapore - Malacca, with various grades of Crude Oil. This
was from far, the busiest vessel I ever command. An usual voyage was
started in Singapore W-OPL and end-up in Johor Port or E-OPL. All
Singaporean Terminals were called in this standard single voyage (Tuas,
OilTanking, Etc) and at least 4 - 5 STS with various size vessels. I
experienced a steering failure while passing Malacca Strait, but everything
solved-out without incident (proper action taken, VTIS and ships in
vicinity informed). Ship's Class Inspections, Terminal's Safety
Inspections, Various Audits and all Vetting inspections were passed with
excellent outputs.
MT Archimid [27.08.2007 - 11.01.2008] (105,896 Dwd - LR Classed,
Marshall Islands Flag) - this was the first contract on this Vessel. Passed
the Suez Canal twice, and then sailed around West African coast. STS and
Calm Buoys were mostly part of ship's mooring at Terminals. Annual
Inspection, various Audits and several vetting inspections were passed as
well, vessel being accepted to be chartered by Oil Majors. This was my
first vessel under Thome Offshore - later re-named as Thome Oil and Gas. At
present time (2012) I am still under TOG employment (renewable contract).
MT Ostria [21.03.2007 - 10.07.2007] (39,768 Dwd - LR Classed,
Marshall Islands Flag) - by far the most difficult vessel in my career.
Area of operation: Persian Gulf up to Indian Coast (Sikka), various grades
of Clean Products. Despite the fact that when I joined this vessel was only
7 years old, she was looking like 25 (entire vessel was coated with a thick
layer of rust). Actually the vessel was build in 1989 in Romania, but due
to political situation she stay idle, anchored on Danube river until it was
sold and registered by her owners in 2000 - the date that appear in all
ship's documents. The vessel was out of maintenance, numerous equipment out
of order (including Air Conditioning, FW Generator, etc) and the crew
(entirely Filipino) completely non-motivated to do anything professional
(apparent reason: delays in wages payment, actually many of the crew
members were first timers on tankers). MT Ostria was managed by a Greek
Company - Magnus Carriers Corporation, the same company I work for onshore.
In normal circumstances I will refuse to take the command of such vessel,
but probably due to my age and exaggerated self-confidence I took it like a
challenge. To make the story short: vessel was rejected by a Terminal in
India (instead of Fwd Tongue type chain stopper - recommended by OCIMF as
mooring arrangement for Buoys - Ostria was fitted with a Smit Bracket).
Later on the vessel was arrested in India - until the payment for delaying
the Terminal was done. I experienced several cargo contamination (vessel
was trading naphtha and gasoline while all valve's rings were made by NBR,
not suitable for such grades) - the P&I representatives remained onboard
for almost two weeks to witness cargo calculations and various related
claims in several Terminals. Other incidents that were ended-up safely (no
pollution / collision / injuries): Pump Room flooded, wheel shaft (on the
Bridge - steering) broken and rudder blocked just prior picking-up the
Pilot, Main Engine failure several times (once with Pilot onboard), one
Boiler runs dry and finally melted, one Auxiliary Engine run without
cooling until ignited - just to mention a few of them. Despite vessel's
poor condition, she operates almost continuously, never being idle except
for repairs. During my contract the vessel was in shipyard (Jebel Ali) 3
times, every time she was going out in worst condition than entered. I did
learn a lot from this contract, from many critical situations where I never
been before, this "challenger" taught me how to act swift in vital
circumstances and how to expect the unexpected. I replaced all non-
professional crew-members (18 persons out of 24) but I end-up having their
brothers onboard. One vessel cannot run only with Masters and Chief
Engineers. It is a joint effort of shore support team and entire crew
onboard - the entire chain is weak if only one link is weak; when this
chain is made mostly by weak links, then it is ... adventurous. Finally I
resigned from Magnus Carriers after a quarrel with ship's Owner - Master's
overriding authority was not part of his dictionary. The time shows that I
been right and "Owner's adamant decision" to sail the vessel as it is was
wrong - shortly after my departure Ostria ended-up with Main Engine damaged
and returned back to shipyard towed by tugs.
MT Highland [18.08.2006 - 05.01.2007] (41,450 Dwd - NKK Classed,
Marshall Islands Flag) - a Product carrier operating mostly in USA - Canada
and Caribbean area. Initially I re-joined Magnus Carriers Corporation for a
job onshore (Vetting Department). After spending a few weeks in the Office
I was sent to join Highland to relieve a Master that delayed the ENOA
notification to US Authorities. It was my first command, with US Coastguard
Safety Inspection in Le Croix, Vetting in Jacksonville, Annual Survey in
Fort Lauderdale and another PSC in Canada and Guatemala. I passed the
Panama Canal a few times. I may say - a normal operated and maintained
tanker, seems to be from other Fleet (if compared with Ostria).
Specific duties and achievements:
- As Head of Safety Management, Coordinate with OIM /
Production Supervisor / Maintenance Supervisor during
emergency
- Responsible for the management, planning and implementation
of all Marine, Catering, Logistics and Service activities
required to safely meet production targets and other

FSO Caribbean Blue [06.01.2002 - 13.11.2003] (384,197 Dwd - DNV
Classed, Panama Flag) - soft mooring Storage Facility at Al Shaheen
Oilfield (Qatar). One of the biggest FSO at that time, with a storage space
for more than 3 MBbls Crude Oil and a daily rate of more than 200,000
BBls/Day (designed for 360,000 Bbls). Chartered by Maersk, all operations
supervised by QP. Very tough selection and approval for Cargo
Superintendent Position, I been monitored for one month continuously prior
I took over this position (Maersk regulation). High tech Installation -
Control Room was located on Monkey's Island, all valves being remotely
operated with a touch of a mouse (normal equipment for present days, but 10
years ago this was one of the most advanced available technology in the
market). High loading rate and frequent off-loadings (tandem and STS
mooring) - a real challenge for any Chief Officer. During my last contract
onboard this FSO we experienced a heavy spill from one cargo tank - a deep
pitting emerged into a hole (below the bellmouth), leading subsequently to
a large spillage. A temporary repair was done to the leaking hole - once
decision to stop production was taken everything was done fast and
efficiently. A permanent repair was attempted by an external workshop, but
this was unsuccessfully - cargo tanks were full of sludge (more of 1 meter
deep) and despite a large amount of money spent in mobilization of diving
boats and shore personnel the Hot Work permit was not issued. I been deeply
disappointed by TankPac, when they were trying to cut some important safety
corners and to do a Hot Work inside a non-gas freed cargo tank - I been
stubborn in my decision and I did not agree with the blackmail proposed by
one of TankPac Manager (to get promoted if I will issue a HWP). I completed
my contract and never joined TankPac again. FSO Caribbean Blue was replaced
from Al Shaheen Filed by the Sea Giant, then by FSO Asia - the biggest FSO
ever.
FSO Intan [09.09.2000 - 27.12.2001] (178,351 Dwd - ABS Classed,
Bahamas Flag) - Imodco Submerged bow turret moored Storage Facility at
Belida Oilfield (Indonesia). Storage space of aprox 1.5 MBbls, Loading two
grades of Crude Oil - Belida Crude (bow loading through risers at max
100,000 Bbls/Day) and Sembilang Crude (STS at 15,700 Bbls/Day). Discharging
operation - Tandem mooring. I was promoted Chief Officer on this vessel,
after one contract as 2nd mate (Control Room operator). Smith Metering Skid
system, Crude analysis, cargo heated (Sembilang) - all normal operations
for Crude Oil preparation (Domestic and export). In Charge with cargo
planning, Ship's stability, Safety and Marine Maintenance. Gained
experience in handling H2S cargo. Prepared the Facility for Class Surveys -
tanks inspection (including UTM) and Hull survey.
Specific duties and achievements:
- In charge of Cargo and ballast operations, ship's stability
and mooring operations during watches.
- Assist in oil storage control, loading and off-loading,
fiscal metering, tank cleaning, helicopter and mooring
operations
- Maintain of all safety equipment in proper working condition
and carry out routings as per Facility requirements
- Operate and monitor the lodicator, Cargo and ballast pumps,
deck machineries, central control facilities, F&G detection
system, emergency communication (including GMDSS)
- Follow Company's HSQE instructions and adhere strictly to PTW
system
- Report immediately to supervisor any incorrect procedure,
accident, near miss, defective tool or equipment

supervisors (liaison with process operators and field support
vessels)
- Assist CO with maintenance of Stripping Pump, Cargo and
Ballast pumps, valve repairing, pipes replacement, gas
detecting equipment, water discharging equipment, metering
equipment, etc
FSO Intan [08.03.2000 - 13.06.2001] (178,351 Dwd - ABS Classed,
Bahamas Flag) - Imodco Submerged bow turret moored Storage Facility at
ConocoPhillips' Belida Oilfield (Indonesia). Storage space of aprox 1.5
MBbls, Loading two grades of Crude Oil - Belida Crude (bow loading through
risers at max 100,000 Bbls/Day) and Sembilang Crude (STS at 15,700
Bbls/Day). Discharging operation - Tandem mooring. A peaceful FSO compared
with Maxus Widuri - I got the chance to study and to accumulate valuable
theoretical information. I developed my computer skills, designing some
small but helpful computer programs (in VBA).
FSO Maxus Widuri [18.04.1998 - 22.06.1999] (323,094 Dwd - ABS
Classed, Liberian Flag) - 10-point Spread mooring system and export via 2
CALM buoys. Location: Widuri oilfield (Indonesia). Storage space of 2.5
MBbls - limited by water depth - Maximum Loading rate up to 200,000
Bbls/Day and export rate of 30,000 Bbls/hr. Maxus Widuri is still the crown
Installation of TankPac. With a crew of 200 persons and a Power generation
facility of 43 MW, this Facility was running at maximum design capacity for
many years. I been working as Safety Officer during FSO conversion (back in
1996, when her name was Deep Blue), then I got the chance to be onboard
this facility as Control Room Operator when upgrading was done:
installation of additional gas turbines on deck and hook-up the subsea
cable. Very complex Installation with daily challenges, receiving a heated
Crude Oil with a very low pour point, difficult to gas free a cargo tank
for inspection or maintenance. Cargo pumps running continuously - either
for ITT, off-loading, cargo preparations or running the oil-water separator
plant. I earned huge Cargo handling experience and I obtained a high
professional confidence after working on Maxus Widuri.
FSO Hikari Orient [13.08.1996 - 03.09.1997] (232,000 Dwd - ABS
Classed, Liberian Flag) - soft moored FSO to a CALM buoy in BHP's Dai Hung
Oilfield (Vietnam
