Welcome to my world
As a highly motivated dock master, I bring in-depth knowledge of docking operations for United States and Royal Australian Naval surface vessels, submarines, and a variety of commercial vessels. My experience also includes managing land transfers, roll-on and roll-off operations, nuclear refueling, buoyancy assist modules, and overseeing multiple dockings within demanding, fast-paced environments.

BAE SYSTEMS SHIP LIFT PLATFORM, HENDERSON, WESTERN AUSTRALIA
The ship lift has a large mechanical platform measuring 125 m by 25 m and weighing 1,900 tons. Designed for maritime vessels, it functions much like an elevator, raising and lowering ships between water levels. It offers a practical alternative to locks and conventional dry docks, simplifying vessel transfers for a range of operational needs.

BAE SYSTEMS SHIP LIFT HENDERSON WESTERN AUSTRALIA
I served as Dock Master and Maintenance Manager at the BAE Systems Ship Lift facility in Cockburn Sound, Henderson, Western Australia. The 14.5-hectare site is located between the AMC and Austal shipyards, approximately 13 km south of Fremantle

BAE SYSTEMS SHIP LIFT TRANSFER SYSTEM HENDERSON, WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Along with the ship lift, I managed the Transfer System and led maintenance, certifications, and audits. I also submitted maintenance budgets and ordered materials for the Transfer System, wet berths, and dry-docking facilities.
