Recruitment & Crew Management

The right people for your vessels and projects.

Nordcrewing helps shipowners and operators find reliable maritime professionals, with a particular focus on tugs, workboats, offshore vessels and merchant ships.

What we offer

Choose the support you need

Whether you need one crew member, personnel for a specific project or support with your entire crew operation, we agree a solution around your requirements. Our team brings first-hand seagoing experience into recruitment, helping us understand the work onboard and the people needed to do it.

Recruitment

We find the people. You employ them directly.

For clients who manage their own employment and payroll, we source and assess candidates for direct employment.

We discuss the position, vessel, working conditions and required experience before presenting suitable candidates. Our assessment considers qualifications, practical background, language skills, availability and motivation.

We coordinate introductions and support the recruitment process through to the agreed joining arrangements.

Crew Supply

Personnel employed by Nordcrewing for your operation.

Where suitable for the assignment and applicable requirements, we provide personnel employed by a Nordcrewing entity to work aboard your vessels or support your project.

This can cover temporary assignments, relief positions, seasonal requirements or longer-term cooperation. Employment administration and payroll are handled by the employing Nordcrewing entity, while operational responsibilities and reporting arrangements are agreed with the client.

The scope, assignment period, commercial terms and responsibilities are established before mobilisation.

Full Crew Management

Coordinated support across the crew cycle.

For clients seeking broader support, we can manage an agreed package of crewing activities, including:

  • Recruitment and crew selection.
  • Employment contracts and payroll administration.
  • Rotation planning and relief arrangements.
  • Crew travel and joining coordination.
  • Checks of qualifications, certificates and assignment documentation.
  • Communication with crew members and the client’s operational team.

The service is tailored to your fleet and organisation, with a clear division of responsibilities. We focus on continuity, timely preparation and building a stable pool of people familiar with your operation.

Where we work

Our areas of experience

01

Tugs and Workboats

Tug and workboat operations are a core part of our business. We understand the importance of vessel-handling experience, machinery knowledge, maintenance skills and a hands-on approach within a small crew.

02

Offshore Vessels

We recruit personnel for offshore vessels and project assignments, taking account of the vessel’s operation, required experience and any role-specific qualifications.

03

Merchant Ships

We source deck, engine and galley personnel for merchant vessels, matching candidates to the vessel type, trading area and working arrangements.

04

Shore-Based and Shipyard Projects

We also recruit maritime and technical personnel for shore-based operations and shipbuilding projects, including welders, pipefitters, HVAC technicians and other specialists.

How we work

From your requirement to the person on board

  1. 01

    Understand your requirements

    We start with the vessel or project, the positions you need to fill and the experience that matters. We also discuss rotation patterns, joining dates, employment arrangements and working conditions.

  2. 02

    Identify and assess candidates

    We use our candidate database, professional network and targeted recruitment to identify suitable people. We review relevant experience, qualifications and availability, with interviews and further checks according to the assignment.

  3. 03

    Agree the placement

    You receive candidate profiles for review. We coordinate feedback, clarify the terms and confirm the selected person’s readiness to join.

  4. 04

    Prepare and follow through

    Before mobilisation, we coordinate the agreed documentation and joining arrangements. Where ongoing crew services are included, we remain involved in rotations, crew communication and future personnel requirements.

Why Nordcrewing

Maritime experience. Long-term relationships.

A certificate confirms a qualification. Finding the right person also means understanding how they work, what experience they bring and whether they suit the vessel and team.

Our seagoing background helps us ask practical questions and recognise the demands of different operations. We value clear communication, realistic expectations and relationships that continue beyond a single placement.
