Word from CEO Being an entrepreneur means to be constantly confronted with challenges – most of the time with ones you didn’t expect and that are not so welcome. At the very beginning, challenges (I don’t like the word problem) were frustrating and frightening. Every business idea seems easy and fast to implement – otherwise you wouldn’t startup in the first place. Nonetheless, stats show that 9 out of 10 ventures fail. I believe the biggest obstacles we all have to overcome are our own. If you can win over yourself, there is nothing to stop you anywhere. “When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you”. After having clear goals and total peace of mind you can build a firm and extraordinary team which you will lead into any battle with total confidence. I believe the team I have built is our biggest power and strength of the whole organization ready to face even more challenging projects in the future.

„Work in AROS Marine goes along with analysis what I did, can I do more and the positive results of my work always pushes me forward. The result may not always be as expected, but then the push is even stronger. For me, work and hobby have merged. I get paid for the activity I incredibly like, so it’s even a greater pleasure for me to work. My manager encourages me by estimating my competence and assigning me serious tasks.

“Sometimes the hardships of the project are so difficult to overcome, but after successful commissioning of the vessel you feel such an ease that you want to burst out to song (and we do!). It’s great to keep friendly relations besides those professional with co-workers and managers, to spend leisure time together. My first years at Aros were marked with lack of knowledge and experience. But as the days passed by my professionalism and self-esteem constantly grew supported by advice and encouragement of colleagues and management. I feel confident that insights and right decisions of our top management will ensure continuous growth and stability of the company. In conclusion – I am proud of being not only a Lithuanian but one of “Aros Marine”!” Robertas Petrikas Project Manager
