Employee Spotlight: Captain Kevin Koehnke, Wilmington, NC. Captain Kevin Koehnke began his maritime journey at 13, starting in commercial fishing in Alaska. At 24, he joined the Army as a watercraft operator, working with tugboats for six years. After his honorable discharge, Captain Koehnke knew he wanted to pursue a career as a tugboat captain. When asked why he chose Moran, Capt. Koehnke stated, “I had always heard good things about Moran Towing. So, after getting my civilian captain's license, I went for an interview. It just so happened that there was a mate position open, and I took it. I felt like I had found my calling." What do you enjoy most about your job? "The thing I like most about it is having that power at your fingertips, pushing the massive ships around and working on the water, doing something most people are amazed that you can even do." Captain Koehnke mentioned, "enjoying the sunsets and sunrises over the water while onboard, and also the time off that allows you to do things with family. I took some time off to raise my family but I left Moran in good standing. I was raised not to burn any bridges. I’m glad that I didn’t because when I decided to come back to tugboats, my goal was to come back to Moran." Now, Captain Koehnke has been back at Moran for almost three years stating, "I can’t imagine doing anything else. I feel that I have come full circle, and now I am home." His advice for new mariners: "The best advice I can give a newcomer to this field is to just start with any job on the water. See if you have what it takes and see if it’s what you imagine it to be like. There are many paths you can take. Ask a lot of questions of the people in the industry. Most of all, don’t get discouraged or overwhelmed. Just take it one step at a time." Ready to start your maritime career with Moran?
