Crew Management
The onboard crew is the cornerstone of a vessel’s safe and efficient daily operations. At ST MARINE SERVICES CO., LTD, we recognize that effective crew management is critical to ensuring the successful operation of the vessels under our care. Protecting our clients’ assets and interests depends on the optimal utilization of highly skilled and dedicated seafarers.
We manage one of the largest global pools of qualified, motivated, and professional seafarers, meeting the demands of this rapidly growing industry. STM offers crew supply services on a lump sum basis for any type of vessel, supported by our extensive, wholly-owned network around the world. This network enables us to stay closely connected to seafarers, oversee the manning process, and promptly meet any crew requirements.
By employing modern search and selection methods, we ensure that all crew members possess the necessary professional qualifications and align with the required personality traits for their roles. We are also deeply committed to the continuous professional development and education of our staff.
To maintain a competitive edge, STM consistently invests in upgrading and expanding our training facilities. Our network of Marine Training Centers in key seafaring nations allows us to equip our crew with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in the maritime industry.
