Capt. Nusret Efe Er (aka. The Salt Bae of Shipping) joined the Atlantis/Armona Family on the 6th of September 2021. He will assume the role of Operations Manager, while also playing an active part in the Chartering Team as Tanker Broker. Nusret is a highly motivated and dynamic individual who has the capacity to bring in fresh ideas and facilitate rapid learning for our many new Junior Tanker Operators.
Having studied at the prestigious international Koc High School, Nusret opted for a Bachelors Degree in Marine Transportation at the Istanbul Technical University & the SUNY Maritime College in New York. After completing his studies he sailed on various tanker vessels of V.Ships UK, Chemfleet and Harren&Partner (among others) as Deck Officer. Nusret further strengthened his extremely strong academic background by completing a Post Graduate Degree in Marine Insurance from the World Maritime University. He later opted to work on shore, starting his working career at YMN Tanker, working as Assistant Operations Manager for 5 Years, followed by 2 years as Assistant Manager in Chartering. Lastly, in the past year he setup Petro Tanker Brokers’ Istanbul Office, before joining us.
Nusret and Atlantis’ philosophies coincide, as the company perceives a cornerstone of its recent success to be the recruitment of ethical, good-natured, and sound charactered individuals that put the needs of their team first, before their own. As CTO Marlon Weinstabl explains: “We want to work with people that create and sustain a pleasant working environment. Furthermore, they should reflect the values of Atlantis. With Efe and the new team, we are confident that our company values and quality will continue to improve, specifically that we can further build upon improving our systems and work practices to provide our Charterers and Broker Houses the service we believe they deserve & appreciate of Atlantis”.
Thus, with that being stated, Atlantis is extremely pleased to announce that they have formed a great Commercial Team that represents its ethos and business ethics in the best possible manner, providing our clients & stakeholders the friendliest, most trustworthy, honest and transparent service.
Welcome to the team, Nusret!

Finance-Whizz Onur Demir joined the Atlantis/Armona Family on the 6th of September 2021. He has a Bachelors in Naval Architecture and Marine Technology from the Black Sea University in Varna, additionally a Bachelors in Economics from Anadolu University, and a MBA in International Finance from ITU.
After his extensive studies, Onur worked for 9 years in the Banking Sector, starting at Garanti BVBA, and later becoming a Branch Manager at ING Bank. After political problems in Turkey further worsened, ING pulled-out from Turkey, forcing Onur to re-invent himself. He opted to become an HR and DPA Assistant at a shipping company, staying in that position for 3 years. He later moved to the UAE based Movers Trading’s Istanbul office, becoming the Crewing Manager in charge of all office employees, and of course the 140 crew members working on the 7 dry-bulk vessels the company owned.
Throughout his career, Onur developed good administrative skills, and the ability to work with, and analyse IT/office systems (setting up Mover’s EMS System with Danaos). Throughout his time in corporate finance (and especially in selling loans to SMEs), he developed good communication abilities, has excellent team spirit, accuracy, initiative and service-oriented attitude. His logical approach to problems and ability to work within time limits and under pressure are much appreciated characteristics that will make him succeed in his new role as Tanker Operator and Junior Tanker Broker.

Webinars, in other words web-seminars, become one of the strongest elements of the New World Order along with the COVID-19 pandemic global formation.
This interactive implementation keeps communication activities alive and makes current information exchange possible between people who are from the same and/or different work areas.
We, as ARMONA Denizcilik Family, entered the webinar world with our first webinar on the subject of “Risk Management and Risk Assesment” which was carried out on 24.06.2021 and was well-attended by our crew members as well as from the office staff.
Our first webinar was prepared and presented by our DPA & HSSEQ Manager Mr. Gökhan Pehlivan. The webinar started at 10:00 a.m. and lasted about four and a half hours. The presentation was informative and provided an opportunity to exchange ideas; while streaming colourful videos, keeping the crew members engaged.
We were lucky that our fleet vessels were able to participate in the webinar during the whole period due to excellent internet connection services on-board our vessels.
We, as ARMONA Denizcilik Family, are looking forward to organising new webinars since our first one has left us a great taste in our mouths.

…and its not all about ships. The COVID-19 Pandemic with numerous waves and lockdowns resulted in more free time and gave the opportunity to relive again a Beetle that our CEO has been driving ever since his university stay in Munich. During the 18 months restoration which Lorenz Weinstabl carried out in his workshop the chassis was separated from the body and all parts were entirely dismantled. Thanks to our seafarers who were off-signing in ARA ports and the generous care of our agents’ Dynamic, loads of parts could be shipped to Istanbul to maintain a steady flow during the reconditioning process. This Beetle is a VW 1302LS Cabriolet built by Karmann in 1972 and the latest researches indicate that its origin goes back to Ing. Josef Ganz rather than the official version that it was concepted by Ferdinand Porsche.

At Armona Denizcilik, we take pride in educating our team members. It is no surprise that crises may occur under the extraordinary circumstances presented with life at sea. For this cause, it is crucial for our colleagues to have proper training to respond to various media organs in such possible cases. In line with the demands from the sector, we have provided Crisis Management and Media Response training so that our colleagues can be prepared at all times.
Benan Kepsutlu, CNN’s former news reporter who has interviewed numerous world leaders, was brought in to train our team on both theoretical and practical ways to manage the media pressure in the best way possible during a crisis. The training focused on body language to reflect confidence, as well as crucial points to make professional and diplomatic statements when giving a live interview. Doing so, our colleagues got to practice their prior skills that have been introduced in previous trainings provided by our company, such as communication skills and psychological analysis.
The Armona team also had the opportunity to make constructive criticism to each other after each person had been recorded on live camera during a comprehensive TV interview simulation. This way, the team’s overall crisis management skills have been enhanced with the support of our management.

On 10.03.2021, we completed our periodical Earthquake Drill after relevant training was provided to all our colleagues in the presence of a certified fire-fighter. Since Istanbul is at a very high risk of experiencing an earthquake, our company has made it their mission to educate its colleagues on the matter and take the relevant safety precautions. With all our team members’ dedication to the process, overall awareness has been raised towards the issue. The Emergency Plan has been carried out successfully where all colleagues practiced how to evacuate the building in the case of a possible natural disaster. This way, theoretical knowledge was reinforced with a real-life simulation, because safety always comes first here at Armona Denizcilik!
