Strong track record of navigating the Australia-Asia trade market effUpdated Professional Biography — Roger Patnell Founder & Managing Partner, Albertmaysons Perth, Western Australia Roger Patnell is a Western Australian maritime investment specialist with a lifetime of experience across transport, logistics, vessel operations, and asset‑backed project development. His career spans more than five decades of commercial involvement in the movement of goods, maritime operations, and investment structuring — supported by a deep, multi‑generational family heritage in shipping and marine engineering. Roger’s maritime roots trace back to the historic Albert Docks and Custom House in London, where both his father and grandfather worked after the Second World War. His grandfather served more than 20- years in the British Merchant Navy before completing a 35‑year maritime career, retiring as a Captain (Second Class). His father operated tugboats and a marine‑engineering business servicing vessels at the London docks, where Roger spent his early years assisting with tug operations, docking work, and engine maintenance. This hands‑on exposure formed the foundation of his lifelong understanding of vessel operations, harbour logistics, and maritime safety. In the late 1960s, Roger established GO FRIEGHT Transport Services in the United Kingdom, operating sealed‑customs freight from Stansted Airport to destinations across the UK. His fleet delivered bonded and customs‑controlled cargo under strict regulatory requirements and serviced commercial contracts for uk customs and Atta Ltd. This period built his early expertise in secure cargo handling, commercial contracting, and time‑critical logistics. During this time, Roger also undertook formal technical and managerial training, completing City & Guilds engineering and management studies at Harlow College. This strengthened his practical engineering capability and provided a structured foundation for his later work in marine operations, vessel management, and commercial oversight. After relocating to Western Australia, Roger expanded his commercial activities through Rosha Investments Pty Ltd, an Australian investment entity with commercial associations including contracts linked to Peter & Brown Group. Rosha Investments managed private capital across transport, logistics, and small‑enterprise operations, strengthening Roger’s experience in asset management, governance, and long‑term investment planning. Roger later owned and operated Bouvard Cruises Pty Ltd in Mandurah, where he gained direct experience in vessel operations, marine tourism, and regulatory compliance. During this period, he obtained his Coxswain ticket, enabling him to operate commercial vessels and personally oversee marine operations. This qualification deepened his practical understanding of Western Australian waterways, marine safety, and vessel management. His broader professional development includes maritime economics, commercial shipping management, chartering and shipbroking, investment management, and maritime risk. He has also completed training in ISM Code compliance, financial modelling for transport assets, and sustainability in maritime operations. Today, as Founder & Managing Partner of Albertmay&Sons Roger leads the development of a professionally governed, WA‑based maritime investment platform focused on the acquisition and long‑term operation of modern container vessels serving the Australia–Asia trade. He oversees vessel acquisition strategy, SPV governance, charter structuring, investor relations, and long‑term commercial planning. His leadership combines operational authenticity, financial discipline, and a commitment to transparent, well‑structured investment opportunities. Based in Perth, Roger brings together a rare combination of hands‑on maritime experience, commercial logistics expertise, and disciplined investment management — positioning Albertmay&Sons as a credible, locally grounded platform for investors seeking stable, asset‑backed maritime returns.
