Questions before your next step.

Practical answers for a crew requirement or a search for your next role at sea.

For shipowners and managers

What should we include in a crew requirement?

Share the rank, vessel type, target joining window and the experience the role needs. Include flag, equipment or company requirements where relevant. You can send the initial request without an attachment.

What will we see alongside a candidate’s CV?

A candidate assessment can set out relevant sea service, document-check status, availability and questions still to resolve. The sample report shows the format; the actual review depends on your vessel and role.

Can we discuss cooperation without an open vacancy?

Yes. Use the supplier cooperation option to explain the support you may need, or request company information for your onboarding review.

Can you confirm a joining date from the first brief?

A target date helps define the search. Actual joining depends on candidate availability, document status, agreed terms and travel arrangements, so these need to be checked for the specific role.

For seafarers
