Crew Management Division

The ship’s crew is an essential aspect of vessel operations. In recent years, we have mainly employed seamen from overseas. Filipino and Indonesian seamen crew most of the ships we manage. They are selected and hired through our manning agents in each country. For ship management, it is of crucial importance to consider the characteristics of the vessel, its mode of navigation and other factors, and to select crew based on an overall understanding of their aptitude and qualifications. It can be said that the quality of ship management services depends on obtaining capable crew.

The employment and disposition of seamen would not be possible without close cooperation and mutual trust with our manning agencies in each country. We maintain communication by telephone and email, and through visits by the crew management staff to meet directly with manning agents, to convey our wishes and to ascertain the situation on the ground. We also collect the reports and evaluations of superintendents concerning the skills and abilities of crew members, or visit the ships in ports of call in person to talk to active crew directly to ensure the best manning situation.

From our inauguration, Cosmo Sealand has pursued ship management with the recognition that seamen are the critical factor. We recognize the crews that man the ships we manage as assets. If our seamen are lacking something, we seek to make improvements, in the belief that it will redound to the benefit of the company. This may seem commonplace, but seamen are human beings, and they have their moods and dispositions. They have families waiting for them at home. We do all we can to ensure that they are happy in their work.
