BANDARA L.A.M.N.U

Talented Chief Engineer with superior planning, team management and problem-solving strengths. Hardworking and multi-talented leader and decision-maker. Offering 8 years of progressive experience as chief engineer in LPG vessel.

In 2006, I embarked on my maritime career as a Cadet, commencing my journey aboard a General Cargo vessel. During this formative phase, I honed my skills and gained invaluable experience, culminating in the successful completion of my training on the Cement Carrier Nafto Cement XI. In 2008, I transitioned into the dynamic world of Gas Tankers when I joined Southfield Agencies, representing principals such as Stealth Gas Inc, Swan Shipping Corp, and Oman Trading International. Over the years, I embraced various roles and responsibilities, steadily advancing in my career.

My tenure with these esteemed organizations continued until 2014 when I proudly left as a Second Engineer. In 2014, I embarked on a new and exciting chapter with LAUGFS, a leading energy conglomerate. During my tenure with LAUGFS, I had the privilege of being part of a historic moment when I played a pivotal role in delivering the company's inaugural vessel, GAS Challenger. This achievement underscored not only my technical expertise but also my commitment to excellence.

My journey with LAUGFS continued, and I had the honor of overseeing the delivery of GAS Courage, marking my significant contribution to the company's fleet expansion. My dedication and relentless pursuit of excellence were recognized when, in 2017, I was promoted to the position of Chief Engineer, further solidifying my role as a key asset to the organization.

During this period, LAUGFS also offered me the opportunity to serve as Deputy General Manager (Technical) for a brief yet impactful period during my vacation. This multifaceted experience allowed me to apply my technical acumen in a broader managerial context, enhancing my skill set and expanding my horizons.

My career journey reflects my unwavering passion for the maritime industry, my commitment to continuous growth, and my ability to thrive in diverse roles and responsibilities. I am poised to bring my extensive knowledge and expertise to new challenges and opportunities in the maritime field.
