If you constantly demonstrate your abilities, a promotion to the higher rank is usually guaranteed. Master, Chief Engineer, and other officer positions are offered to deserving crew. The company will actively support you in obtaining your higher license and will introduce you to a higher position during your shipboard assignment.

CREW AND FAMILY MAIL

Family members of crew onboard may send their letters and packages to the office, and we will forward them to the specific vessel. However, all “padalas” are subject to inspection, to ensure that it does not violate any travel regulations, and are acceptable onboard.

Several of our principals extend additional benefits such as a retirement fund or a health card for qualified crew.
