Welcome to my personal website. I am a licensed Marine Engineering professional, working around the world, on commercial ships. My spouse and I raise three young boys from our home on the West Coast of Canada, on Vancouver Island, in British Columbia.

Since completing a formal Marine Engineering Apprenticeship in Vancouver in 1999, I have worked on numerous types of large commercial ships, as certificated Ship’s Engineering Officer. I currently sails as Chief Engineer of an Articulated Tug and Barge (ATB) unit, operating in Central Canada, moving petroleum products.

Martin’s Marine Engineering Page – www.dieselduck.net is probably what I am most known for in professional circles. It is a website that offers a large collection of marine engineering resource, including numerous articles, pictures, videos, links etc, which are sure to benefit “new”, seasoned mariners, and ship enthusiasts. I started this hobby in 1999, and continue to maintain the website, which gets about 35,000 visits every month from all parts of the world.

I join my partner, Julie, on our journey through life with our three sons. You may visit her, through her Facebook page.
