In my capacity as a Marine Engineer at SeaCraft Engineers, I have been directly involved in several marine vessel design projects. Notably, I was a key member of the team responsible for designing a state-of-the-art research vessel for an environmental agency. We employed advanced CAD systems to design the hull, deck layout, and piping systems, ensuring optimal stability and safety.
A significant part of my job also entails vessel maintenance. I have supervised dockside repairs and in-water servicing for a variety of vessels. Implementing comprehensive maintenance strategies, including predictive and preventive maintenance, has been critical in ensuring vessel reliability and safety.
One such strategy resulted in a 20% reduction in unplanned downtime, increased vessel life expectancy, and decreased maintenance costs. The safety protocols that I helped implement led to a record two years without a safety incident onboard our vessels.
