Raphael G. Joaquin, President & COO - Consolidated Training Systems Inc.
I have been with Scanmar Maritime Corporation since 2009. The first time I set my foot on the director's office, hospitality and professionalism was there and then I knew that I found home. The fleet managers and staffs are very warm and eager to help-out. It led me to employment as Master and was eventually given the chance to be the Owner's Representative of BREMER BEREEDERUNGS GmbH. I look forward to a continued long-term relationship with them.
Capt. Efren Mendoza Jr, Owner's Representative - Bremer Bereederungs GmbH
