WELCOME OUR NEW MENTORS:
     SINEAD HALES



Sinead Hailes 













JOSEPH QUAIN

Sinead is a former Deck Officer with over 15 years in the marine industry. She has primarily worked on a general cargo vessels and passenger ferries. As well as her professional capabilities, Sinead is passionate about promoting a positive safety culture and has put particular emphasis on health and safety since coming ashore in 2018 and is a Technical member of the Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH).

Sinead is also a certified ISM/ISO auditor and has conducted internal audits on board and ashore as well as conducting incident and accident investigations. She has a strong background in developing and implementing Intergrated Management Systems and QHSE material.

Sinead is presently the QHSE Manager DPA for a UK based company who manages a fleet of offshore energy support vessels.




I worked at sea for about 20 years from cadet to master, about 10 years deep sea followed by about 10 offshore, mainly on DP dive support vessels. I obtained an LLB degree and qualified as a solicitor. I have almost 30 years experience in legal practice mostly involved in casualties at sea including collisions, salvage and pollution claims. I have worked with law firms in London and Singapore.

TESTIMONIAL
"In late June I reached out to the Marine Society to join their Coming Ashore Programme, a scheme that is free to join and assigns a mentor (for me it was Paul Naranjo-Shepherd)to offer guidance and support in the challenge of finding the right shore-based position for you. In only a few months after joining, I had secured multiple interviews and had the necessary assistance in preparing for them in the right ways, from people that have years of experience in the industry. Everyone I have spoken to was friendly, engaging and keen to share their knowledge which I am extremely grateful for.

If anyone else find themselves in the same position that I was in, not really knowing how to move forward in their career in the maritime industry without going back to sea, I would highly recommend looking up the Marine Society Coming Ashore Programme."

- Peter Lewis (Coming Ashore mentee)
