About

From Sea to Strategy

First Female Unlimited DPO

I'm Neslihan Müfreze, a Dynamic Positioning Operator in the international offshore industry.

I grew up in Hatay, in the south of Turkey. I had no family at sea, no contacts in maritime, and no one in my circle who knew the industry. I found out about Dynamic Positioning from an internet search on a Turkish PSV company — and that was the first time the word 'offshore' meant something real to me.

I traveled to a training center in Ukraine for the basic DP course, and somehow managed to land a first job on a PSV. From there it went to drillships, then commissioning projects in Norway, and eventually newbuildings in Geoje, South Korea.

This is not a theoretical industry.

It's operational.

And experience defines everything.

What People Say

Neslihan's mentorship completely changed my perspective on what's possible in the offshore industry. Her guidance on DP certification saved me months of wrong turns. I went from feeling lost to landing my first DP Operator role within a year.

Captain Emre Yılmaz

Senior DPO, North Sea Operations

Her book 'Kaptanlığa Giden Yol' was the first time I saw my own dreams reflected in someone else's story. As a woman entering maritime, having a role model like Neslihan — who's actually done it at the highest level — is invaluable.

Ayşe Kara

Deck Cadet, Turkish Maritime Academy

I've worked with many consultants, but Neslihan's hands-on offshore experience sets her apart. She doesn't just give theoretical advice — she knows exactly what it takes to succeed on the bridge of an offshore vessel.
