Scott Kaniewski working his way up the ranks
A crew member on the Ben My Chree has been promoted to the rank of Relief Master.
Scott Kaniewski, from Douglas, started working for the Steam Packet in 2014 after a move from Global Marine Systems where he worked his way up from Deck Cadet to Chief Officer.
Scott started at the Steam Packet as a Second Officer and then Chief Officer on board the Ben-My-Chree.
In 2017, the Company supported his application for study leave to gain his Masters Certificate of Competency, and in 2019 he transferred to fast craft Manannan to sail as Chief Officer.
Since July Scott has been Master training on the Ben-My-Chree to obtain his Heysham Pilotage Certificate, and on Thursday 12 August he took command as Relief Master of the vessel.
In the near future he will also be trained as Relief Master on Manannan.
Isle of Man Steam Packet Company Managing Director Brian Thomson said: ‘Scott’s progression through the ranks is a perfect illustration of the fantastic career opportunities that are available for those who choose a career at sea – it is a truly rewarding industry for those who work hard.
'He is very deserving of this great achievement and we wish him many years of sailing with the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company.’
