"Keep your door open to the unexpected; you never know where your journey will take you, or where you will end up. SPO is an ideal place for someone who wants to have a career and not just a job.”

Keep an open mind about your job and the responsibilities that come with it.

Having these friendships at work make even the not-so-fun parts of the work enjoyable. I’m very glad to be part of the Crewing team, which has been a great learning experience. I’m learning new things every day at work!

One great aspect of working in SPO is that you are given autonomy in your day-to-day work which accelerates learning and enhances your professional development.

SPO is certainly one that cares for its employees and invests in its people and these are the reasons why people stay with the company. Getting the various qualifications and becoming a Master isn’t the end. There are many diverse career opportunities in this industry after getting command.

Working in SPO and especially working in Head office in Singapore has given me a whole new perspective on the work we do and made me more comfortable when dealing with people in general....Respect on board a ship is gained by working hard and smart."
