Never an academic, he quickly realised he would need to expand his horizons to make himself a decent living. Working his way up from deck boy to ship’s captain in the merchant navy, then into senior management, Roy embarked on a more than forty-year career in the global marine industry. Having sailed with some of the best known shipping lines, including P&O, Blue Funnel and British & Commonwealth, Roy moved into management at the first opportunity. Despite a long and distinguished career, and tantamount to his commercial value to his employers, he only ever worked for three companies: OIL, Seabulk and BUE Caspian/Topaz Energy & Marine, being promoted to senior levels as a result of remarkable success within each. Most experience was gained in the North Sea, West Africa and the Middle East. Alongside writing stories about his lifetime’s experiences – sometimes dangerous, occasionally tragic but often hilarious – and sharing with the reader the colourful characters to be found in his adventures, Roy currently also manages to find time to provide a consultancy service to the marine industry. Recognised as a leader in his field, Roy writes articles for key shipping industry publications and he is a regular source of valuable operational, management and investment guidance to offshore operators, international oil companies, shipyards, vessel managers, financiers, brokers and global investors.lihat lebih sedikit
