EXPLORING THE SEAS: INSIGHTS FROM CHIEF ENGINEER OLE BERG'S MARITIME JOURNEY WITH UNI-TANKERS

Why did you want to be a seafarer?

I did it because I would learn a lot about different technical systems, and work in a different environment where you are challenged by the fact you sometimes are in the middle of nowhere and you must find the solutions yourself.

What was the best part of your cadetship?

The best part was that you get to experience a different working environment, working with different cultures and at the same time see part of the world.

Why should you become a cadet with Uni-Tankers?

The fact that Uni-Tankers is a family-owned business, and the short way in communication from the vessel to the office, and even top management, is a very large part of why Uni-Tankers was very attractive to me.

What did you wish you knew before going to sea the first time?

That there is a lot of free time onboard after end work and the evenings can sometimes be long, you need to be good reading books, watching movies or have other interests that you can use the evening time on by yourself.

What is the best part of your job today?

The best part is that when you are at work you are at work, but at the same time when you are home, you are free and don’t have to think about anything else.

Ole Berg, Chief Engineer. Engine Cadet in 2014.
