A thirst for adventure and curiosity led me to do my first practical semester at Harren Group. After that I knew that seafaring and heavy lift was my world.
Cargo Superintendent for SAL Engineering
Having worked as a seafarer for 14 years, I have encountered numerous challenges unique to the confined environment of sea vessels.
