″Adam and I worked alongside each other at Gearbulk. Adam was employed as a Port Captain in our Ships' Operations Department and I was employed in the Commercial/Chartering dept. Adam was tasked with attending the loading and the discharge of our owned and time chartered vessels. Adam was very pro-active in planning the stows and ensuring the stevedores followed instructions. He had a very practical and flexible approach to his work and managed each stow in the best possible manner. His ideas and recommendations has stood the 'test of time'.

With a well rounded shipping background, which has included time at sea, significant extended periods seconded as an ocean freight operator and many hours spent in ports, Adam can rightly claim to be a shipping and logistic chain expert.
Adam has repeatedly demonstrated the value of a Port Captain; by reducing the cost of safely stowing and discharging cargo; improving efficiency in these operations but most importantly he builds personal bonds with those working in the operational chain at all levels and develops the skills of those that work with him. This last characteristic is one that continues to benefit any company who has employed or worked with Adam, as results of repeat operations continue to be higher than those prior to his input even when he is not in attendance.
In addition to these skills, Adam has a variety of other experience and is quick to look at all possible ways to improve operations that he is working on. His flexibility, desire to develop and push the operation for continued improvements mean that there are always benefits from utilising his skills.
