I worked for the owner Golden Ocean on bulk carriers. The owner is decent, but the ISM manager, Thome Singapore, is terrible. After each contract, I promised myself I wouldn't return, but eventually, I forgot the bad experiences and returned for the salary. There is an overwhelming amount of paperwork, training, and reports, much of which seems pointless. The Filipino crew members are generally weak, and the expectations from management are unrealistic. I used to think Greeks were the worst, but Thome Singapore has proven me wrong. If you want surrealism, welcome to Thome Singapore.
