Need background information for your newspaper, blog, research paper…?
Need help with your job search, career plans, maritime training, coast guard licensing….?
We are trying a new feature at gCaptain; Ask a Maritime Expert. The response to gCaptain has been extraordinary, well beyond my expectations. So far we have built a subscriber list filled with talented maritime professionals.
Recent members include:
- Harbor Pilot
- Chief Engineer
- Marine Biologist
- Workboat Captain
- Shipping Company Owner
- USN Command Master Chief
- Dynamic Positioning Operator
- USCG Civilian Licensing Official
- Master Mariners from numerous vessel types
This is the short list! So if you have a question about Ships or the Maritime Industry post the question to our forum. If you are not happy with the response or have a private question email us (tips at gCaptain.com) and we’ll forward your request to a U.S. Coast Guard licensed Master Mariner. If you’re still not satisfied your welcome to call us hacks on or forum.
Things to remember:
- We work on large ocean going ships so we’re probably not qualified to answer questions about recreational boating…. that is unless it’s how to avoid a ship while boating ;)
- We don’t have all the answers…. but we can usually tell you where to look.
- It’s a forum; so be prepared for uncensored responses.
- This is a free service so the contents of the response are not guaranteed, only the fact that you’ll receive on is!
Are you a Maritime Expert? More details will come shortly on registering as an expert, so stay tuned. Until then join our forum and submit news stories to help build the gCaptain community.
