Function: Master / Chiefmate
Introduction
My name is Kevin, and for 6 years I am working as chief officer, mainly on working boats (multicats, tug boats). What I like about my job is: the freedom, the responsibilities, the opportunity to travel the world and meet new people, and above all: sailing and working on a ship. Working as a Chief mate
