After a number of years deep sea with cargo, passenger and roro container ships, I transferred to an offshore division of our parent company - Offshore Marine. Master offshore in many parts of the world before coming ashore into the chartering department. Moved on to be operations manager of United Towing, until the company sold off most of its tugs and then consulting in offshore and leisure shipping market. I think this is a similar career path for a number of my contemporaries and maybe it reflects the sharp decline in conventional shipping at the time.
I have to confess that i don't regret my time involved with the offshore world but now happily retired with a great interest in cruising UK Inland Waterways when I can.
