Hello, I’m Jarred Gaudineer, a naval architect and marine engineer based out of New York City.
Marine inspector and licensed Professional Engineer in naval architecture and marine engineering, supervising the Barge Branch at U.S. Coast Guard Sector New York. I work between vessel engineering and maritime regulation, tracing requirements to their authoritative source and determining what they obligate in a specific case. My qualifications span both regulatory frameworks: SOLAS, MARPOL, Load Line, and STCW examination of foreign-flagged ships as a qualified Port State Control Officer, and 46 CFR inspection and international certification of U.S.-flagged barges. Before the regulatory side I served as a shipboard engineer aboard a Coast Guard cutter, which is why I evaluate a repair proposal against how a crew will actually operate the plant. I supervise an eight-person technical team and support our management system as a trained ISO 9001 auditor.

Vessel operations
100-ton licence, watch standing
New Construction Oversight, 115-ft Wooden Passenger Vessel
Provided year-long construction oversight of the largest wooden vessel certificated in the last 100 years, conducting biweekly inspections from layup through delivery and resolving three material and regulatory callouts to bring the vessel into passenger service.
Safety-Critical Instrumentation Failure, 27,000 GRT Chemical Tanker
Traced a false high-oxygen alarm to an alarm circuit wired through a dislodged chart recorder, identifying a disabled inert gas warning system as a safety-critical deficiency and requiring restoration before vessel movement.
Emergency Flooding Response, 190-ft, 1,200-Passenger Vessel
Led the damage survey of a corrosion-induced hull breach, verifying welder qualifications against AWS D1.1 and authorizing limited return to service under monitoring rounds and a mandatory drydock requirement.
Experience
Barge Branch Chief
Supervise eight marine inspectors executing the port’s barge inspection program: workload assignment, inspector qualification progression, and technical review of inspection findings and enforcement actions.
Marine Inspector
Conducted 150-plus inspections across more than ten vessel categories in a port receiving over 5,000 commercial arrivals annually, covering passenger vessels, foreign-flag ships, and barges, including one of the largest passenger vessel fleets in the United States. Provided engineering oversight for new construction and conversions, including a battery-electric hybrid passenger vessel, and executed stability tests, deadweight surveys, and drydock structural evaluations. Authored Captain of the Port Orders requiring casualty analysis, risk assessment, and defensible technical conclusions.
Marine Engineer
Stood engineering watches as Officer in Charge aboard a 418-foot cutter, monitoring and operating shipboard systems during patrol. Also managed preventive and corrective maintenance schedules and helped coordinate depot-level maintenance periods with shore facilities and contractors.
Deck Cadet
Rotated through watch stations, assisted with navigation planning, and helped with deck department maintenance. A good ground-level look at Coast Guard operations, maritime regulations, and vessel handling.
Education
Professional Engineer
Licensed to seal naval architecture and marine engineering work. License No. 162665.
ISO 9001 Lead Auditor
ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management Systems Lead Auditor, certified by Exemplar Global.
B.Sc. Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering
Graduated with High Honors; 3.55 GPA and Dean’s List in all eight semesters. Directed study on axial-flux permanent magnet machines, evaluating stator segmentation and rare-earth-free magnet substitution.
100-Ton Master's License
Obtained a marine officer's licence from the USCG. The licensing process covered maritime operations, navigation, and safety, which is useful context for thinking about vessel design from an operational standpoint.
