The people of Protea Maritime Connection

I have been working in the maritime industry for long time. 7 years ago I was given the opportunity by Stephan and the Protea team. I am truly humbled and grateful for the opportunity to represent and be part of such a vibrant, diverse and loyal Protea family, I currently serve on board of Jan de Nul dredging as chief cook. Which involves the procurement of nutritious meals with complex diversity , ordering of victuals and bonded stores and also hygiene and ships’ housekeeping on board.

The last 2 years were tough for everyone with regards to the pandemic world wide, hence we managed all together to sit out this storm. Greatly appreciated what I do and representing Protea means a lot to me.

I joined Protea Maritime relatively early in my career and have now worked my way up to 2nd engineer. I have the opportunity to grow my skills on a multitude of different vessels. This experience I will carry for the rest of my life , the staff of Protea Maritime Connection have always been on top of anything that have been thrown at us including navigating the incredibly hard times brought about Covid. To have stability in your career is something one strives for especially when starting a family.

“The PMC team are always professional. Their punctuality, coordination and communication are vital to my role as a 2nd electrician or ETO. I perform routine maintenance of equipment and machinery (repairing, installing and testing). I also manage the electronic work schedules, compile orders and carry out stocktaking duties.”
