Maycon Moura on board Normand Trym. –I therefore decided to change workplace, and chose Solstad on the recommendation of my wife. She told me how the ships operate and about Solstad’s way of doing things. I identify with this and wanted to work in the company. We also received the help of Solstad to coordinate our time off. After working for 2.5 years with Solstad I'm sure I chose wisely, Moura says. He says it can sometimes be tough to be onboard, far from family and friends. -It’s good to have a family member onboard with me. Having a good relationship with your workmates is also important since you spend time with them over long periods. I definitely think that we have good working relations onboard Normand Trym, Moura says. Normand Trym is a supply vessel carrying cargo to Petrobras rigs. –I've received an excellent training and support onboard, especially from my former boss in the engine, Boguslaw Radonski. Sadly he died earlier this year, and he is deeply missed. The master of Normand Trym, Rolf Nielsen, has been a great help and I appreciate that he recommended me for promotion, Maycon Moura concludes. SOLSHIPS – DECEMBER 2013 25
