About Me

A little more about how I work, what I value, and the direction I want to keep developing in.

Einar T. Eyvindsson working at sea

I’m a Faroese maritime professional with experience from both fishing and aquaculture vessels. I like being part of the operation rather than standing on the side of it, and I’m comfortable taking responsibility both on the bridge and on deck.

I tend to work best when things are practical and clear. If there is a problem, I usually want to understand what is actually causing it before deciding what to do. I value straightforward communication, people knowing their responsibilities, and a crew that can rely on each other when things get busy.

I’m still building my experience and qualifications, and my goal is simply to keep developing as a deck officer, take on more responsibility over time, and become someone people are comfortable having beside them when the job gets demanding.

Education

Formal officer training building on practical sea experience and progressing toward higher command responsibility.

Maritime Officer Studies

Vinnuháskúlin · Faroe Islands

Jan 2023 – Expected Dec 2026

  • First 18-month stage: Skipper / Fishing Vessel Skipper.
  • Final 18-month stage: Shipmaster.
  • Studies completed alongside practical maritime work, including skipper duties with Ocean Rainforest and Chief Mate experience aboard Mars.

As I approach the end of my studies, offshore is the area I’m most curious to explore next, while fishing, merchant shipping and aquaculture remain open possibilities.
