What We Offer

Our Services

Full-cycle support for seafarers and shipowners alike.

Crew Recruitment

We specialise in sourcing highly qualified seafarers for all vessel types - tankers, bulk carriers, container ships, and more. Every candidate undergoes rigorous screening before we present them to a shipowner.

Job Placement for Seafarers

We connect sailors with competitive, verified positions on the international market. We also help prepare your CV, gather required certificates, and submit your application with the best chance of success.

Maritime Documentation

From flag-state endorsements to STCW certificates, we handle the full paperwork process - on time and in compliance - so you can focus on your career without bureaucratic delays.

Professional Development Courses

Upgrade your qualifications with courses led by experienced captains and chief engineers. We offer rank-specific training and specialisation by vessel type, with career support and assistance with job applications after completion.

Visa Processing Support

We provide full visa application support for candidates, including consultation, document preparation, appointment guidance, and process follow-up. Visa fees and related government costs are paid by the candidate.

Our Process

How We Work

A transparent, six-step process that takes you from application to ship - and back again.

Receive Shipowner Requirements

We collect detailed crewing requests from shipowners specifying vessel type, rank, experience, and documentation requirements.

Search Our Seafarer Database

We match candidates from our extensive, continuously updated database against the specific needs of each shipowner.

Candidate Screening & Verification

We verify experience with previous employers, conduct technical interviews, and authenticate all maritime documentation to STCW standards.

Documentation Package

We compile all required application forms, verification records, test results, and flag-state documents as requested by the shipowner.

Placement & Embarkation

We submit the candidate, coordinate the interview, arrange a pre-sea briefing, issue uniforms, and accompany the seafarer from home to the vessel.

Re-employment Planning

After contract completion we gather shipowner feedback and immediately plan the seafarer's next embarkation as part of our Long Life Service.
