Crew Manning & Management

Crew recruitment is entrusted to our branch offices situated in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh and Moscow the capital of Russia. In this period of great competition, we are fully aware of the importance of having well trained and reliable crew on board, to securely and cost-effectively run the vessel. That is the reason why we are here to deliver only top quality crew to your vessels at any time and any place.



Strategy:

We espouse a proactive approach to safety and ongoing investment in people. Shipping is a people business. In fact, it greatly depends on the finest crews, which is why our crew selection process is based on rigorous screening while great emphasis is placed on training and re-employment of competent seafarers.

For that reason we continuously invest in the development and growth of all of our candidates, as we recognize that their contribution is fundamental to the successful implementation of our strategy and success.

Core business

Aquamarine started to work as typical manning agent but soon realized the Owners’ need for dealing with full crew management.

We take pride in our superior customer service approach, which has enabled us to establish long term relations with our clients and seafarers in the highly competitive shipping industry. Our crew management package is a holistic and comprehensive solution that takes care of all crewing parameters & issues.

Related responsibilities that consume money, time and energy for a Ship Owner/Manager are managed by us and this allows clients to focus on other operational issues. Our Operations, Travel, Agency, Training and Accounts departments coordinate to ensure the seamless deployment of crewing operations for your vessels. Given that crewing is a function of high complexity and critical importance for the operational efficiency of one’s vessels, Aquamarine carefully plans and develops related solutions which offer peace of mind for the Ship Owner/Manager while at the same time retaining full and absolute control from the client’s side.

We provide Remote Magnetic Compass Adjustment and Calibration services for any commercial ships, sailing yachts, motor yachts, tugs, fishing vessels, rescue boats, etc and issue the preceptive Compass Adjustment Certificate.

The main reason for compass adjustment and the issuance of a new deviation table is an increase in deviations which is due to various reasons.

In accordance with Chapter V, regulation 19 of the 2000 amendments to the 1974 International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), 1974, the use of a magnetic compass is mandatory, and it must adhere to the standards set forth by the IMO.

It is the responsibility of the Owner/operator and the Master to ensure that compasses on their ships are maintained in good working order.

Magnetic compasses are a very important tool for the safety of navigation. Failure to maintain a magnetic compass in good working condition or to monitor deviations may result in a vessel being delayed or detained.
