She made it in without a map. You get the map.
Chapter 01 · Hatay, Turkey
No contacts. No maritime family.
Neslihan grew up far from the industry. One internet search about a Turkish PSV company was the first time the word 'offshore' meant anything real.
Chapter 02 · The Hard Way In
Figuring it out alone.
No one to ask, no one to open a door. She travelled to Ukraine for a basic DP course and fought her way onto her first platform supply vessel.
Chapter 03 · Drillships Worldwide
From PSV to the world's toughest waters.
DP operations from the North Sea to West Africa, commissioning projects in Norway, newbuild deliveries in Geoje, South Korea.
Chapter 04 · The Record
Turkey's first female offshore Unlimited DPO.
A decade in, she holds an unlimited ocean-going master licence and the DP certificate most operators never reach.
Chapter 05 · Your Chapter
She did it without a map. You don't have to.
Every wrong turn she took is a shortcut she can hand you. In one call, you get the route she had to find alone.

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.
