In our third episode of “Maritime with a French Accent“, we discussed with Damien Bertin, Opsealog’s Business Development Director. Discover his unique journey from law to maritime business development.

Damien shared how his early career path—from studying maritime law to working with Bourbon—led him to Opsealog. He offers insights into the intricacies of maritime law and the challenges of transitioning from legal expertise to commercial operations in offshore environments.

One of the key highlights of this episode is Damien’s transformative six-month experience in Angola, where he gained a firsthand understanding of offshore operations and intercultural management. It deepened his understanding of how cultural diversity can impact business in the oil and gas sector.

In addition, Damien reflects on the cyclical nature of the oil and gas industry, the global opportunities he’s encountered, and the importance of building strong partnerships with clients to overcome industry weaknesses.

Finally, he shares how his experiences have shaped his work at Opsealog and why efficient vessel operations and data-driven decision-making are vital for the future of offshore.
