Hannah spent 22 years with APM Maersk, working on Dynamic Positioning (DP2) Anchor Handling vessels, overseeing navigation, watchkeeping, cargo and ballast operations, vessel stability, planned maintenance and complex manoeuvring both offshore and in port. Her work supported major projects for clients including BP, Petrobras and ExxonMobil, across multiple global locations.
Among her career highlights, Hannah played a leading role in the Hebron Project, an industry-first operation to transport and deploy a large oil rig installation offshore Newfoundland, Canada. Working alongside eight other vessels, she conducted in-depth environmental and ice navigation risk analysis. She was also involved in one of Maersk’s first oil production plant decommissioning projects, recovering all seabed anchor systems safely, and managed an emergency dry dock that minimised costly operational losses while keeping to tight budgets and timescales.
