Careers at Sea
Sail with a manager that keeps its word
We employ our officers and ratings directly, not through labour brokers. Contracts are honoured, wages are paid on schedule through a Singapore-administered payroll, and relief dates are planned three months ahead. Officers who sail with us return to the same ships — which is exactly how we want it.
Paid on time, every time
36 consecutive months of on-schedule wage payment, MLC compliant.
Planned reliefs
Relief dates confirmed three months in advance; no extended contracts without consent.
Training & promotion
Company-funded upgrading courses and a documented promotion path from cadet to master.
Family support
Allotment to family accounts, insurance cover and a 24/7 contact point ashore.
