Voyager Marine Expands into Engineering Oral Examinations
We're pleased to announce that Voyager Marine Solutions is expanding its Maritime New Zealand oral examination services to include marine engineering qualifications

Chief Engineer and Maritime NZ-approved examiner Jack Paoli has joined our team.
Jack brings extensive maritime experience to Voyager Marine, having worked aboard large commercial vessels internationally before relocating to New Zealand. Since arriving in NZ, he has also worked as a marine educator, sharing his practical engineering knowledge and experience with the next generation of seafarers. Jack currently sails with Bluebridge, maintaining his connection with operational marine engineering.
With Jack joining our team, we can now offer Maritime NZ oral examinations for the following qualifications:
Engine Watch Rating (EWR)
Able Seafarer Engine (AB Engine)
Marine Engineer Class 3 (MEC 3)
Marine Engineer Class 4 (MEC 4)
Marine Engineer Class 5 (MEC 5)
Marine Engineer Class 6 (MEC 6)
This expansion is another positive step for Voyager Marine as we continue to broaden our services and improve access to professional maritime examinations across New Zealand. Our approach remains focused on providing independent, fair and professional assessments, delivered by experienced mariners who understand the practical demands of working at sea.
We're incredibly grateful to have Jack's knowledge and experience contributing to Voyager Marine, and we're stoked to welcome him to the team!
