His strong academic and professional qualifications laid the foundation for a disciplined and technically grounded maritime career. However, his strong academic performance laid the foundation for a disciplined and technically grounded maritime career. He joined the Shipping Corporation of India in 1993 as a Trainee Nautical Officer Cadet (TNOC), marking the beginning of a structured progression through various ranks at sea. Early exposure to bulk carriers, crude oil tankers, and product carriers enabled him to build essential competencies in navigation, cargo handling, and shipboard safety operations.
These formative years strengthened his technical discipline and provided a deep understanding of complex vessel environments. Between 1993 and 2010, Capt. Dubey advanced steadily from junior officer to Chief Officer and ultimately to Master, serving across a diverse range of vessels including LPG and ammonia carriers, LNG carriers, crude oil tankers, product carriers, and bulk carriers. In his role as Master, he commanded advanced gas carriers such as fully refrigerated LPG and LNG vessels, ensuring safe cargo operations and strict regulatory compliance under demanding maritime conditions. His leadership at sea consistently emphasized safe navigation, cargo integrity, and operational efficiency, particularly during critical gas handling operations such as cooling down, gassing up, and cargo transfer procedures.
Transition to Shore-Based Leadership in Singapore
In his shore-based capacity, he has played a key role in ship-to-terminal compatibility assessments and advanced mooring analysis for LNG and LPG operations. He has also been actively involved in LNG cargo handling simulator training for multinational crews, along with conducting vessel and company audits and contributing to the development of operational procedures, circulars, and safety policies.
In his early roles ashore, he served as Gas Project Manager within the HSEQ and Tanker Operations department, where he was responsible for supporting safe and efficient gas carrier operations across the fleet. Over time, he progressed into broader leadership positions encompassing marine operations, environmental compliance, and training management.
His responsibilities included the development and implementation of HSEQ systems, conducting audits, overseeing LNG and LPG operational activities, and managing risk assessment and incident investigation processes.
Additionally, his portfolio expanded to include specialized technical domains such as ship-shore compatibility assessments, mooring analysis, and ship-to-ship (STS) operations for LPG and LNG vessels. He has also been actively involved in dry docking supervision, ensuring safety compliance and operational readiness of vessels. His expertise further extends to Mooring System Management Plans (MSMP) and Line Management Plans (LMP), evaluation of Ship Design Minimum Breaking Load (SDMBL) for tanker vessels, and development of vessel hardening and cybersecurity management plans.
He also contributed to the implementation of safety and quality management systems and provided technical support to fleet operations. This phase of his career significantly expanded his scope of influence from individual vessel operations to organizational-level leadership in global maritime management.
Leadership in Energy and Marine Business Development (USA)
In 2024, Capt. Dubey advanced into a senior executive role as Vice President, Business Development (Marine Operations) in the Energy Division at NYK Group Americas Inc., Houston, USA. In this position, he is engaged in strategic marine and energy initiatives, with a focus on LNG infrastructure-linked operations and emerging low-carbon fuel projects. One of the key areas under his scope includes engagement with LNG infrastructure development initiatives such as Cameron LNG in Louisiana, where he supports operational monitoring, marine coordination, and stakeholder communication among charterers, vessel owners, and port authorities. He is also involved in evaluating future energy transition opportunities, including early-stage assessments of methanol bunkering logistics in the Gulf Coast region.
HSEQ Leadership, Compliance, and Training Contributions
Throughout his shore-based career, Capt. Dubey has played a significant role in HSEQ leadership, regulatory compliance, and environmental management systems, with expertise spanning ISM, ISPS, ISO 9001, and ISO 14001 frameworks, as well as marine risk assessment, incident investigation, vetting inspections, dry dock safety supervision, and environmental audits.
He served as Deputy Chief Environmental Manager for over nine years, leading EMS audits and regulatory alignment activities.
He was also a member of the “Working Group on LNG Bunkering Crew Training” organized by the Singapore Chemical Industry Council Limited, contributing to the development of future regulatory frameworks and training standards for LNG bunkering operations in Singapore.
Additionally, He obtained train for trainer certificate and has contributed extensively to training and industry development through LNG simulator instruction, risk assessment programs, Safety Management System (SMS), LPG/LNG manual, LNG Bunkering course development and participation in LNG bunkering safety discussions, reflecting his continued engagement with maritime safety and decarbonization initiatives. He has also contributed to regulatory and technical advancements, including participation in the development and implementation discussions surrounding the Code for LNG bunkering in Singapore through his involvement with industry working groups under the Singapore Chemical Industry Council.
Contribution to Singapore Maritime and Community Integration
During his professional tenure in Singapore from 2010 to 2014, Capt. Dubey made meaningful contributions to the maritime sector while gaining valuable experience within a globally recognized International Maritime Centre (IMC).
