Have you searched the Merchant Navy and Maritime records on FindMyPast? If you start there you may be able to find out more about him. It can get quite complicated so I'll leave the explanations to the experts! I've spent many hours tracing the merchant navy career of my own ancestor.

ok thanks for this, I haven't had a Findmypast subscription for a while but will sort it out soon and browse those records.
