I LOVE SAILING

How is life at sea in The Danish Merchant Navy?
Maybe you dream of a maritime career, of sailing around the world or maybe you are just curious about life at sea. I have made this channel to give you some insights about the life and lifestyle as a modern seafarer and I hope it will inspire and motivate you to pursue your dreams.

My name is Thomas Dyrehauge. I am 35 years old and from Denmark. I have spent many years of my life at sea.

From 2010 to 2020 I worked at sea in the Danish shipping company TORM A/S on board oil and chemical tankers world wide. I worked on board in the following positions: Deck Cadet, 3rd Officer, 2nd Officer and Chief Officer.

From 2020 to 2024 I worked ashore as an Assistant Harbour Master at The Port of Aalborg, Denmark.

Since May 2024 I have worked at sea in the Danish shipping company DFDS A/S as a Deck Officer on board ro-ro passenger and cargo ships. I now work permanently on board the ro-ro cargo ship SCANDIA SEAWAYS.

Thanks for watching!
