I am a Master Mariner Unlimited, a former captain in worldwide trade, a former nautical instructor with the German Federal Police, and now working as a Deep‑Sea Pilot. My work combines practical seamanship, technical precision, and the ability to explain complex maritime topics in a calm and clear manner.
I work in a structured, responsible way, with a strong focus on accuracy — at sea, in port, and in training environments.
As a captain in worldwide trade, I was responsible for navigation, safety, vessel operations, and crew management.
This experience forms the foundation of my work today: precise decision‑making, clear procedures, and a deep understanding of maritime risks and responsibilities.
präzise Entscheidungen, klare Abläufe und ein tiefes Verständnis für maritime Risiken und Verantwortung.
As a nautical instructor, I taught navigation, seamanship, and maritime safety.
During this time, I learned how to convey complex content in a structured, understandable, and practical way — a skill that is valuable in both commercial and recreational maritime training.
In my current role as a Deep‑Sea Pilot, I support vessels in demanding sea areas.
This work requires concentration, experience, and the ability to assess situations quickly and calmly.
It keeps me firmly connected to professional shipping and ensures that my expertise remains practical and up‑to‑date.
I am certified in:
Magnetic Compass Adjustment (Compass Adjustor)
Draft Survey
Bunker Survey
Dry Bulk Cargo Survey
These qualifications form the basis of my technical services for the commercial maritime sector.
Professional deviation measurement and preparation of deviation tables for safe navigation.
Technical inspections, condition assessments, and documentation for vessels and equipment.
Specialised modules in navigation, safety, and seamanship — taught calmly, clearly, and with practical relevance.
Navigation is not an abstract concept to me — it is a craft. A craft that requires precision, responsibility, and composure.
I work:
with technical accuracy
in a structured and methodical way
without unnecessary dramatics
with a clear focus on safety and traceability
This approach shapes both my professional maritime services and my training and education work.
I aim to make maritime operations safer, more transparent, and more professional — whether on a cargo vessel, in a shipyard, or in a classroom.
My experience as a captain, instructor, and pilot comes together in one goal:
To convey and apply navigation and maritime safety in a calm, clear, and technically precise manner.
If you have questions about services, surveys, compass adjustment, or training, I am happy to assist.
