A Family Legacy Turned Personal Passion: The Roots of Ievgen's Seafaring Career

Ievgen's path to becoming a seafarer began in 2010, deeply influenced by his family. With a lineage of seafarers including his father and grandfather, Ievgen was drawn to the sea. But it was more than a family tradition; it was a personal choice driven by the love for travel and new experiences.

As a 2nd Engineer, Ievgen’s days are filled with challenges that keep his job exciting and fulfilling. Each day is a new puzzle, a new problem to solve, making his role crucial and rewarding. For Ievgen, the joy of his job lies in the responsibility he shoulders and the pride he feels in being an integral part of the ship’s crew.


A Digital Shift: Transitioning to Seafair

Ievgen worked at a traditional manning agency for about 7 years. At that time, he felt the challenges of his career growth until he discovered Seafair which marked a significant shift in his career.

I made it to Seafair and I’m happy to be here. That gives me the perspective and attitude of the digital manning agencies, the best experience ever.
