The agency is in direct contact with many ukrainian seafarers. Most of them cooperate with us for a long time, being employed by the agency for different vessels in different time with good references. This is our policy to offer employers reliable seafarers only. Nevertheless we are open for newcomers, who have to demonstrate good qualification and skill and provide positive references from the previous employer. We used to check the application forms and references before offering the candidates. On request of Owners/Managers we are able to provide several candidates and leave the option to choose the right person for Owners/Managers, if necessary. The Principals may have direct interview with the candidates via Skype.
Important to mention, that there are Maritime Academy and 3 Maritime Colleges in Odessa, which graduate new fleet offices every year, who are keen to work and be promoted. This allows to have wide net of specialists of different maritime professions available for employment. Besides we can provide cadets for the vessels, who are highly motivated and can be considered as potential officers for the fleet.
