  • Fleet Logistics Support: Transporting krill meal, delivering fuel, spare parts, and provisions, and managing crew changes.
  • Leadership & Crew Management: Leading and developing a multinational crew, promoting a strong culture of safety, and supporting crew welfare.
  • Stakeholder Coordination: Working closely with fleet management, fishing vessel masters, and shore-based logistics personnel.

Requirements

  • Must hold a STCW-compliant Master Mariner (Unlimited) Certificate.
  • Must possess a valid GMDSS certification and a valid medical fitness certificate.
  • Must have previous command experience on cargo, offshore, support, supply, or similar vessels.
  • Must have a strong knowledge of ISM, SOLAS, MARPOL, and Norwegian maritime regulations.
