Summary

Deck Officer OOW II/1 Unlimited | Full DPO Certified | Offshore & Cruise Experience

Hello! I am Nahuel, versatile and safety-driven Deck Officer with broad maritime experience across offshore and cruise operations. Full DPO certified, with recent experience as DPO and Second Officer on a Dive Support Vessel (DSV), supporting dynamic positioning and subsea activities. Previously served as Second Officer on AHTS vessels (SPM operations), and on cruise ships operating in the U.S., Caribbean, and Antarctic regions, where I developed strong navigation and passenger safety skills. Also sailed to Antarctica during a private sailing yacht charter, gaining valuable experience in polar navigation and adverse weather conditions. Additional background includes tankers, chemical carriers, and fishing vessels, with solid knowledge of cargo operations and environmental compliance.

Recently served as Master on board M/V Meredian, overseeing the vessel’s preparation for delivery in the Falkland Islands, including dry dock operations, sea trials, and class inspections. Subsequently completed the Atlantic crossing as Chief Mate, sailing from Esbjerg, Denmark, to the Falkland Islands for final handover.

Experienced in dry dock operations, vessel maintenance, and inspections. Committed to safety, teamwork, and operational excellence, with a strong motivation to grow within the offshore and cruise industries.
