İzzetcan Şanlı
Oceangoing Watchkeeping Officer
I am İzzetcan Şanlı, born on January 9, 1998. My interest in maritime life began in my childhood and led me to pursue a degree in Maritime Transportation and Management Engineering at Dokuz Eylül University. I graduated in 2023. During my studies, I had the opportunity to learn not only about maritime operations but also about ship management, navigation systems, and maritime safety in depth.
After graduation, I completed my 12-month mandatory internship on container vessels and am currently working as an oceangoing watchkeeping officer. I have gained practical experience in ship operations, navigation, and risk management in maritime environments. Maritime life combines theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience, and I strive to develop myself further by integrating these aspects every day.
In addition, I aim to share the knowledge I’ve gained, as well as the latest developments and innovations in the maritime industry, through my blog. I believe staying up-to-date with current information is crucial in a profession like maritime, which requires constant learning and growth.
