Voices from the Fleet MV APAGEON I, ASD Juaton, Edgar Charles S., currently on board MV APAGEON, belonging to the CENMAR crew since 2013, have a lot of good memories with our Company, especially during the company forums that are held in Manila, Philippines. This is the most awaited event of the Company because this is where we have a chance to meet and greet the Greek Management personnel and all the Filipino crew. First day of the CENMAR Forum is when various topics are being addressed. CENMAR highest ranking officials present their topics, whether it is about Navigation, Quality and Safety, Marine Operations, Technical, or Manning and Training. Also, I must admit the food during lunch is awesome. The second day is my favourite. After completing the presentations, it is time for the group photos.
Then, before the end of the day, there is a basketball game that all Filipino crew enjoy. Here is one of the photos that I kept because for me this is a memorable experience. Thank you very much and looking forward to other great memories with the Company. Truly yours, ASD Juaton, Edgar Charles
M/V CE-Duke I have been with the Company since 2013 and my memorial vessel is M/V CE-Duke, where I served twice as a Chief Officer in 2013-2014 and 2016-2017. In my bright memory is the visit of our Eng. Supt. Mr. Christos Chatzigiaklou (CCH) in Lianyungang, China at the end of February 2014, where we inspected all ballast tanks, all cargo holds together and I reported to him all true vessel's present condition. It was a nice inspection and visit.

I also performed a dry dock on M/V CE-Duke in 2016 and during that time got experience and knowledge from attending Supt. Eng. Mr. Michalis Maritsas (MAR). It was a good and interesting time at Shanhaiguan Shipyard, where we worked and talked with all Office staff, Technicians and Superintendents. Finally, I was the last Officer of the Company who stepped out from M/V CE-Duke after the vessel was sold in 2017. It was a fetching experience. M/V CE-Duke was demanding, but I learned a lot during my stay on this vessel.
