Hi, I am Raj Kumar Goel

I went through forced detention in Taiwan from 7th February, 1996 to 22nd June 1999 on allegations of collision of container ship, under my command, with a Taiwanese fishing boat. I returned to India on 26th June, 1999. The stay in Taiwan has been a terrible chapter of my life, though it taught me a lot about life, relationships and it was due to great support from my parents, friends in India (especially Capt Ashok Jain, Capt Sanjay Gupta, Veeresh Mallik etc)and friends that I made in Taiwan that I could withstand this detention period and stay normal. Offcourse the scars of that incident shall remain throughout my life, however I take this opportunity to thank all of you.

On return I stayed at home for a year and then joined an Indian company, sailed for 3 years and in 2003 took up a shore job with J B Boda Surveyors Pvt. Ltd. From March 2004 till December 2006 I worked with Samudera Shipping Line (India) Pvt. Ltd as their Operations Manager. On 1st January, 2007 I changed to more challenging job with Silver Port Services Pvt Ltd, Navi Mumbai, involved in implementation of new projects
