During his 18 years at Maersk, he headed up the crewing team and was responsible for the safe, reliable, and cost-effective crew management of 120 Maersk Line-owned vessels including the Triple E class vessels. He headed up South Pacific Manning Services on behalf of six German partner shipping companies employing Kiribati crew onboard vessels. He also led the complete integration of the entire Hamburg Sud fleet into Maersk Line fleet from a crewing perspective.
