Christian Venegas

I am a Navy Merchant Deck Officer with a decade of experience in transporting a wide variety of goods by sea. For five years, I was part of a crew transporting hazardous charges, resolving charge management, and approving VETTING inspections regularly as Third Mate and Second Mate. 

Since 2014, I've worked as Deck Officer, Third and Second Mate, and as Chief Officer, in different types of vessels. Before that, I was part of the Chilean Navy, reaching 10 years as a Chilean Navy Officer. 

I studied at the Chilean Navy Academy, Escuela Naval Arturo Prat. Also, I earned the title of Merchant Navy Officer in 2014 after completing the requirements established by the DIRECCIÓN del TERRITORIO MARÍTIMO Y MARINA MERCANTE, Valparaíso, Chile.

I completed several IMO courses related to safety in the sea, medical care, interpersonal skills, and dangerous goods transportation.
