Technical Data Desk Manager: Özgün Nalbantoglu

I speak with Özgün, a marine engineer from Türkiye, who works in the Fleet department’s Technical Data Desk team. We talk about his journey from life at sea to supporting fleet operations on land, and how his early years on bulk carriers continue to shape his work today.

Özgün shares stories from his time sailing with both Turkish and international crews, reflecting on what those different environments taught him about professionalism and teamwork. We also discuss his current role working with BASSnet, and how real-time data is helping bridge communication between ship and shore.
