Kenneth John Macleod

I am a highly motivated and dedicated Master Mariner with over 20 years of experience in the offshore oil and gas industry. For the past 8 years, I have served as Captain / SDPO aboard the ALP Sweeper / BOKA Sweeper (Kongsberg DP2), leading complex offshore operations across a wide range of environments.

Throughout my career, I have developed extensive expertise in: Ocean towage, Positioning and hook-up, anchor handling, DP operations (Kongsberg DP2), ROV support, Offshore Geo drilling and survey, Rig moves and barge handling.

I bring a results-driven leadership style grounded in safety, efficiency, and collaboration. My ability to lead teams under pressure, particularly during high-stakes offshore operations, has consistently ensured safe and successful project outcomes. I strongly believe in the power of effective teamwork—especially in challenging and dynamic conditions where clear communication and decisive action are critical.

Recognized as a proven leader with strong decision-making and interpersonal skills, I have earned the trust of my crews and management alike. My experience in diverse offshore environments has refined my adaptability and commitment to excellence.

Self-motivated and enthusiastic, I take pride in fostering a professional culture built on trust, integrity, and shared success. Whether working with technical teams, clients, or senior management, I strive to bring clarity, focus, and a forward-thinking mindset to every task.
