Our speaker is John Daniels, a Master Mariner who has served his life at sea in the Merchant Navy and the RNR. John has had a varied career in tankers and an iron ore carrier. He has worked in the offshore oil and gas industry in the North Sea when he began to specialise in Dynamic Positioning, a relatively new concept of ship control. In the RNR he specialised in Amphibious Warfare and sailed in many RN ships.
John is now an Independent Marine Consultant and from time to time serves as a ship's Master. He is a volunteer Boat Master on the John Bunyan sailing up and down the Great Ouse.
