Turkey's First Female Unlimited DPO
Charting Her Own Course
Maritime officer, bestselling author, and mentor — navigating the offshore industry and inspiring the next generation of women at sea.
From High School Student to DPO
Neslihan Müfreze made history as Turkey's first female offshore Unlimited Dynamic Positioning Operator. Starting as a high school student dreaming of the open sea, she navigated a career path that few women had walked before — earning her unlimited DPO certification and proving that the open sea recognizes skill, not gender.
Today, she shares over twelve years of offshore experience through her bestselling books, a thriving social media presence reaching more than 127,000 followers, and one-on-one mentorship for aspiring maritime professionals. Her mission: to chart a clearer course for the next generation of women at sea.

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.

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.

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.
