My name is Butushan Vladimir.
I am a Gas Engineer, and I working in this position since 2022.
2001 and started my career as a motorman. Later, I worked as a Third Engineer on tankers and LPG vessels until 2018.
In 2018, I joined Höegh as a Third Engineer on LNG vessels. After several years, in 2022, I was promoted to Gas Engineer.
I worked in this position until 2025. Unfortunately, my contract was not renewed because the company reduced crew positions.
They also needed more local crew on board for certain projects — for example, in France, Germany, Brazil, and Australia.
Result, experienced officers, including myself, were not re-employed.

I’ll just tell the truth — and you can decide for yourselves. I’ll talk about my strengths and weaknesses.
Weaknesses
English average - sometimes need a bit more time to form my thoughts clearly,
I don’t always express myself perfectly, but I’m constantly working to improve.
As for my strengths: when I join a vessel, I study everything in detail.
I read a lot, and I always try to fully understand all systems and procedures.
I’ve never had any conflicts with crew members
I strictly follow company rules. And if necessary,
I’m ready to work long hours — even up to 28 hours a day if the situation demands it.
That's why I've been working with Hoegh for eight years now. I don't stop until the job is finished. If I'm not satisfied with the result, I keep working until it's perfect.
