Former Exmar Captain Now Nautical Advisor at Port of Antwerp-Bruges

A former captain of Exmar, now serving as an external nautical advisor, recently shared his experience piloting an Exmar vessel at the Port of Antwerp-Bruges. He noted the familiarity of seeing the crew in Exmar coveralls, which reminded him of his years as a captain. Transitioning from a 24/7 team leader role to an advisory position, he described the environment as the same but the experience different. The Port of Antwerp-Bruges is supported by agentschap Maritieme Dienstverlening en Kust (MDK), which facilitates maritime pilotage services. This shift highlights the continued connection between maritime professionals and their former employers within the industry.
