In 1998 he switched to commercial sea shipping and started sailing as Chief Engineer on board of ocean-going tankers. He subsequently worked as a technical Superintendent at the same tanker company.

From 2006 until 2012 he gained wide experience as maritime and technical surveyor at a Rotterdam based survey company.
