Crewing

Our highly skilled team from our crewing department interview individuals of all nationalities for jobs on the vessels. This is an important task for the group as recruiting a good crew is a crucial aspect of its shipping activities. A competent crew not only assures the safety of the vessel but can also save many thousands of dollars in the cost and maintenance of a ship, and a good captain and his officers ensure the vessel carries out its Charterparty commitments reliably, efficiently and punctually. The valuable relationships built by our crewing department have resulted in a strong nucleus of Officers and lower crew who are by now a permanent part of the whole company.
