Captain Quentin Cox
Captain Quentin N Cox has 32 years in the maritime industry. He has overseen shipping operations as a seagoing
officer, Master, vetting inspector, cargo expediter, risk assessor, charterers’ representative and latterly as trainer,
educator and researcher. His work has not only taken him around the world but also into the hub of various high
level international projects.
Here are what people have to say about Quentin’s training:
“Great course. Very detailed, technical aspects definitely beneficial to work.” Supply Optimization Analyst, TOTAL Oil Asia Pacific
“This a well prepared and organised course.” Marine Risk Manager, Royal & SunAlliance Insurance
“It was great learning experience. Indeed an eye opener! I learnt a lot by listening to the Capt Quentin’s past experiences and helpful
videos.” Operation Executive, Leo Ocean
“Sailing as chief engineer for more than 25 years out as sea (and also as superintendent engineer), I had never realised that I would
have to go through the formalities once again. Let me express my thanks for making it so easy for me to attain the tanker safety
course. The level of teaching is excellent” Rakesh Misra, Chief engineer
“It was a pleasure to attend this course. It gave some more, mostly background knowledge to be able to do my job in a better way”

About your Expert Trainer:
CAPTAIN QUENTIN COX
Captain Cox started his seagoing career with the BP Tanker Company in 1980 as a deck cadet and rose to the rank of Chief
Officer, having attained his Master Mariners Certificate of Competency. With BP he worked extensively on crude oil, refined
product, fuel oil and LPG tankers and enjoyed world-wide trading patterns. He then moved into consultancy work which largely
involved ship vetting and cargo expediting. He witnessed the development of certain vetting regimes, especially those involving tankers.
During this period he extended his tanker experience to include chemical tankers, as well as oil and LPG carriers.
After another brief period at sea on a multitude of ship types, Captain Cox joined Warsash Maritime Academy, teaching on tanker endorsement
courses. During this period he added to his consultancy work particularly involving port and dock area risk assessment. He also extended his
academic portfolio with a Master’s degree in Open and Distance Education. He is a committee member of the International Maritime
Lecturers’ Association, frequently representing the Association at the International Maritime Organisation. His work with the Accreditation
and Approvals Panel of the Energy institute has taken him to many and varied educational institutions. Captain Cox is a co-author of the
‘Manual of Oil Tanker Operations’ published in 2011 and is currently authoring a second publication on chemical tankers.
