Crew Management

Long-term crewing relations are not just towards external parties. We believe that staff who feel cared for will do a better job and be more likely to stay on board with us. Happy crew and happy ships are also likely to be well-maintained on a budget.

Crew management includes retention rate objectives, intelligent ways of building crew cooperation teams and efficient systems for follow-up and training. 

From our office in Southampton & London, we are managing the crewing on the  Antigua Barbuda, Cyprus and Liberia flagged vessels. The retention rate is very high, which demonstrates that the crews are well satisfied with their employment. All managed vessels are covered by approved collective bargaining agreements.

Our crewing offices are DNV certified according to the Standard for Certification of Crew Manning Offices, Private Recruitment and Placement Services.

Our crewing services include:

  • Delivering full crews, partial crews and single crew members to merchant vessels

  • Careful selection of applicants through personal meetings and interviews depending on the client´s demands

  • 24/7 service in all aspects to clients and employees

  • Arranging all types of endorsements and visas

  • Plan, organise, book and execute all travel-related tasks to and from vessels

  • Full payroll service

  • Close dialogue with client and follow-up on customer satisfaction

 
Vessel Crew Change 
 
Changing a ship’s crew is an important process which helps vessels to operate smoothly. J.C Shipping Agency is ready to arrange a vessel crew change in any British port or at anchorage.
 
The UK is a very comfortable place to travel to. Flexible travel regulations for seafarers and visa policy make crew change in the UK faster and cheaper. London airport has a good connection with major European airports. The relatively short distance between the airport and port terminals saves much time, as seafarers can reach the ship in just 1 hr after arrival at the airport.
 
Our crew change service includes
 

  • Meeting at the airport / seaport / railway or bus station

  • Immigration and customs formalities

  • Visa on arrival if necessary

  • Hotel accommodation if needed

  • Transfers by certified taxi

  • Meals

  • Launch boat in case of crew change at sea

  • Medical help
