Da Gama Maritime is a company which was established by a Chartered Master Mariner with over 30 years maritime experience who spent most of that at sea navigating ships of varying and increasing sizes as well as training junior officers in the art of navigation. Through his professional background of understanding what vessels do and don’t need at sea as well as engagement with regulatory bodies and by sitting on committees and organisations which are responsible for enhancing safety at sea, this company and its representatives go above and beyond what others may offer.
Meeting ISO9001:2015 standards which are monitored via BSI, we constantly take a look at ourselves to ensure we are meeting client demands and leading the industry with our procedures, professionalism and experience.
However navigation is only one sphere of our support.
Training is just as important and since 2010 we have been providing onboard training in firefighting and navigation. Utilising the specialist background of our instructors we’re able to work with the management companies or better still, the crew of a vessel to review, refine and improve procedures on board. Hundreds of vessels from 40m to over 300m have benefited from bringing our training team on board through which evidence has shown the improvements to efficiency.
