Steam Packet advertise for senior master to oversee new build

Thu, 15 Aug 2019

The Steam Packet Company has begun to recruit for a senior master to manage its proposed new vessel.

A post for senior master has been advertisted and will see the chosen applicant be part of the state-owned ferry operator’s ’new build team’.

The job criteria states applicants must be senior officers with new build and/or shipyard experience.

The company has agreed under the new sea services arrangement to provide two new vessels, with first being due to come into service in 2022.

There's no indication where the ship may be built, though Cammell Laird on Merseyside have indicated they would be eager for Manx business.
