Now, as they both move ashore to become Superintendents, they look back on more than 15 years each of successful seafaring.
After graduating from the Odessa National Maritine Academy, the Ukrainian born twins began their lives at sea in the engine rooms of ships trading around the world. During the following years they progressed through the ranks to become Chief Engineers in the same year at the age of 32
Both seafarers say the family tradition was their main reason for embarking on a career at sea. Maksym recalls: Our father worked at sea alll his life. He showed an example to follow and all the delights of this interesting profession. We also grew up surrounded by seafarers’ families, so the choice of our life path was obvious.” Vitaliy adds: Our city is located on the seashore and the profession of a seafarer is valued every boy dreams of being one.”
They hope they have made their family proud. Maksym says: This is a continuation of the family dynasty hope our family is satisfied with the result.”
What kept them at sea and encouraged them to build seafaring lives? Both highlight international travel and experiencing new cultures as being a key factor. Vitaliy comments: Foreign trading with a variety of vessels, new countries, culture and people impressed me very much and all these factors confirmed that made the right choice to be a seafarer.”
