MEET STEVE

Steve has vast experience with 17 years as a sea-going officer in the Merchant Navy in both the United Kingdom and South Africa, rising to the rank of Chief Officer. He also has 25 years experience as a Marine Surveyor. His surveying background starts with the lack of promotional prospects in the Merchant Navy which prompted him in 1987 to become a “landlubber”.

After a short stint with an insurance company he joined a firm of Marine Surveyors in Durban, South Africa. After two years he was successfully approached by SGS, a leading Survey and Inspection company with their head office in Geneva, Switzerland. Steve was employed as assistant branch manager and lead surveyor in their Durban branch.

He took charge of the Agricultural, Marine and Mineral divisions within the company becoming Divisional Manager of all three divisions. Steve spent 15 years with SGS and decided, after several senior managerial changes, to leave the company and join a smaller surveying company in Durban, with a view to expanding his knowledge of other types of surveys. This proved to be a good decision with more knowledge of loading and discharging being undertaken.

Steve covers surveys throughout New Zealand including ports such as Dunedin, Bluff, Port Chalmers, Picton, Nelson, Wellington, Auckland, New Plymouth, Napier, and is based in Christchurch. He also covers Australasia.
