Boat Owner's
Background
|
Born in Pasto - Colombia, 1958
In 1978 I joined the
Navy school (Admiral Padilla)as Merchant marine cadet in Cartagena -Colombia where I began to had
contact with the sea. The sailing local competitions and weekend cruises
around the Cartagena bay was one of the main gratification
sports practiced by the cadets on board of small sport sail boats (Sailing
dinghies and lasers ).Since those times I promise to myself that one day I
will have my own sailing boat to be able not only to navigate into the
Cartagena bay, but safely all over the world.
I graduate as Third officer in 1982
after yearly training cruises on board several types of merchant vessels
beloning to "Flota Mercante Grancolombiana"
Since 1983 I started
to work as third mate and second officer in many merchant ships around the
world.
21Years Offshore
experience:
In 1988 I started to work in the
offshore oil industry as Chief Mate and Captain on board of Supply and
Anchor handling boats. Most of the time in the
Tidewater company in the Brazilian oil fields. Also as chief mate
at AHSV "Achiever" in West Africa. Vessel belonging to "R& B Falcon".
Nowdays merged as "Transocean" Offshore Company.

Since I began my maritime life 26 years ago and then when
I started to have contact with DP systems until now day by day I
am steel fascinated to see the way that the human being has got to
merge: Computers languages, electronics science, satellites
communications, hydroacustic signals, hydraulic, mechanic, etc; all in
one reliable system capable to perform such kind of maritime operations
that a few years ago could be called by any seaman as impossible or just
fiction. If
you want to know more about the fascinating Dynamic Positioning System I
invite to you to visit the
The International Marine Contractors Association web page.  |

participated in many ship's dry-dock jobs, where I have gained a lot of
