    2nd DPO Junior Officer
    OFFSHORE

  • “I was very pleasantly surprised with the TURTLE sytem which appears highly advanced in design and structure. It is like a draft of fresh air among the dump grounds of trash-old-school low-productive platforms. The TURTLE personnel is always open for contact and ready for assistance and clarification of any questions. The flexibility in the submittance of data and documents is at the highest level. It seems to be the best platform I've ever seen.”

    Master
    TANKER

  • “Just a great and sophisticated platform to find proper job opportunities for all kinds of seafarers, which is connected to several bigger and smaller shipping companies, but still protects the seafarers' data and only shows a limited and hidden view of the profiles, unless you are asked if they may continue to send more detailed information to a possible future employer.”
