Our team consists of highly experienced individuals, with strong backgrounds and hands on experience in the maritime industry. We remain at the forefront of Crew Recruitment by continuing to educate our Crew Agents & staff, truly being here to help make successful matches between Employers and Crew, and most importantly by remaining committed to your needs.
