Who We Are
OCEUM is a maritime engineering education and technical knowledge platform created by experienced marine engineers. We focus on delivering practical, real-world engineering insight related to ship machinery, marine systems, and onboard operations.
Our content goes beyond manuals and classroom theory, providing system-level understanding, operational context, and engineering reasoning based on real onboard experience.
What OCEUM Stands For
OCEUM stands for technical clarity, operational responsibility, and continuous learning in maritime engineering. The platform was created to bridge the gap between theory and real onboard experience.
Our Background
OCEUM was created by maritime engineers with extensive onboard experience on merchant and offshore vessels. Our background includes years of service as Chief Engineers and senior engine officers, responsible for ship machinery operation, maintenance planning, troubleshooting, dry-dock supervision, and compliance with international regulations.
This hands-on operational experience directly shapes every article, explanation, and technical analysis published on the platform, ensuring practical relevance, engineering accuracy, and real-world applicability.
Our Engineering Philosophy
We believe that good engineering is built on deep system understanding, the ability to recognize failure patterns, and disciplined decision-making under real operational conditions.
At OCEUM, engineering is not limited to theory or manuals. It is a continuous process of observation, analysis, preventive thinking, and responsibility for safety, reliability, and long-term equipment performance.
Our approach emphasizes practical problem-solving, root cause analysis, and engineering judgment developed through real onboard experience, always aligned with international regulations and best maritime practices.
OCEUM is built for maritime professionals involved in technical operations and decision-making.
Our Mission
Our mission is to support marine engineers, ship officers, and shore-based technical professionals in making sound technical decisions throughout a vessel’s lifecycle.
We aim to improve operational safety, system reliability, and engineering efficiency by sharing clear explanations, real case studies, and structured technical analysis grounded in real onboard experience.
