👨⚖️3 projects and 2 teams for tomorrow, what to do, asked the teamleaders? 🤷♀️I said, 2 teams and only 2 projects. Clients X and Y. Z clients, 3rd project, Senior officers are on round, and won't get to work, informed the junior officer. 👨⚖️And the teamleaders said, Thank God, we were worried as the teams were falling short. Now no worries. Will go accordingly and can be done smoothly. #shipbuilding #shiprepair #marine #marineindustry

I recently embarked on a trip to Hamburg to connect with some Ship Management clients (new and old!), as well as meet some candidates I have worked with over the years. As I delved into the maritime industry's heart, two significant observations caught my attention that I think are worth sharing. The Housing Hunt in Hamburg is Impossible. I helped secure a position for an individual there 10 months ago...they STILL do not have somewhere to live permanently. If anyone has a bucket load of money and sense, they would be building housing in Hamburg NOW! I did make this suggestion to a couple of my clients as a potential investment opportunity. Watch this space for the Maritime/Residential fusion you never saw coming... You heard it here first. Secondly... Dry Cargo Superintendents are in High Demand. On a more optimistic note, I discovered a thriving job market in Hamburg for experienced dry cargo superintendents, particularly those with a background as a chief engineer. With the obvious lack of housing someone already living in Hamburg has a huge advantage even if less experienced currently, so if you are a little more junior and already working ashore, do not be shy to apply for positions you may think are a little above where you currently are in your career. The power is in your hands and the ball is firmly in your court with the current market situation. Various companies are actively seeking skilled professionals to join their teams, offering a multitude of options with differing benefits. If you're contemplating a career move or are already based in Hamburg, this could be the opportune moment to explore the diverse opportunities available. Companies are eager to engage with experienced individuals and if you're interested in discussing the pros and cons of different businesses currently hiring, reach out to me. And in my downtime but still very much on brand... I took some time to visit the Haus der Seefahrt, a maritime institution that offered a unique perspective on the industry's history and its impact on seafarers worldwide. As I soaked in the history at Haus der Seefahrt, I couldn't help but appreciate the integral role Hamburg has and continues to play in shaping the maritime industry's future. If you're considering a move or looking to explore job opportunities in the maritime sector, Hamburg is undoubtedly a city worth exploring. Alvedersane...

Time for #FAQ Friday! To wind down the working week, we thought we would answer some of our more frequently asked questions: ⁃ What equipment do you have? Alongside world class manufacturers, much of our equipment is designed in-house by our Engineer, Jack Foll. This means that all of our equipment can be quickly tailored and optimised to be sure that you receive the most accurate results. Currently, our range of equipment includes; CPTs, vibrocorers, box corers, clam shell grabs, as well as a full range of smaller environmental grabs and trawls. ⁃ What depths can you achieve? We have the capability to acquire marine geotechnical data up to 20m below seabed in water depths of up to 3000m. #FunFact: We average approximately 1000 metres of seabed core samples annually - that’s 20 Olympic swimming pools! ⁃ Do you own your own vessel? We own and operate MV FlatHolm - a 24m UK MCGA Certified survey vessel. She is also MLC, JNCC IMCA and COWRIE compliant; making her one of very few UK vessels available in her class that conforms fully with these specifications. Also, earlier this year, MV FlatHolm had her towing hook reinstated and, after completing all of the official paperwork and bollard tests, she received her MECAL certificate and took on her maiden tow. She can also be chartered, so contact us for more details! ⁃ Do you have your own labs? Yes! Our labs are located in #Plymouth. As well as being able to offer our clients the ability to inspect cores as they land, our facilities also allow for long term storage. This means that customers can track and trend historical data with ease, which has proved invaluable in their decision making processes and future project planning. This is a unique service within the industry so, if storage is proving to be an issue or you have historic samples that need moving, get in touch! ⁃ Are you ISO Certified? We certainly are: ISO 9001: Quality Management ISO 14001: Environmental Management ISO 45001: Health and Safety Management As well as this, we are Achilles Gold registered, and we were also thrilled to be selected as one of Avettas’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Leaders. ⁃ Where can you operate? Whether your project takes place offshore, nearshore, in busy ports, within smaller harbours or even inland waters – we can do it! That’s it for now but If you would like to know more about CMS GeoScience Ltd. and the work that we do, check out our website or send us a message: https://lnkd.in/e-fEbebc #HappyFriday #geotechnical #ISOCertified #Vessel #Vibrocoring #Engineering #Marine #Surveying
