Our Story
Angus Ferguson, Founder, Onboard Maritime
Working at sea can be challenging. I know that only too well from my time aboard at the start of my career.
The nickname ‘dipstick’ was acquired after I got the sounding tank tape stuck in the sounding pipe for three consecutive days on my first trip at sea.
​
What I did enjoy was being at college. Learning from the experienced lecturers at Glasgow College of Nautical Studies. Their depth of knowledge and ability to make any topic interesting and engaging was inspiring.
​
By perseverance and hard work, I managed to get my Master Mariner Unlimited Certificate of Competency.
The transition from
ship to shore
I came ashore and began my career as a lecturer at Glasgow College of Nautical Studies.
​
Teaching and the classroom dynamic has changed dramatically from the first classes I taught.
I still have nightmares about getting the overhead projector in focus just before dropping the folder containing my acetate sheets of notes and diagrams on the floor!
