Crew Management and Crewing for Shipowners крюїнг крюинг.jpg
Next-Generation Crew Management and Crewing

JobMarineMan is the digital Crew Management platform of Marine MAN, where crew recruitment, operational management, and compliance work within one integrated system. One partner instead of multiple disconnected contractors — designed for shipowners who depend on crew availability, fast rotations, and operational continuity across their fleet.Our unified model combines Crew Management + DOC Holder + digital recruitment infrastructure.

190,000+ Seafarers in a Global Database

A structured database built through 20+ years of international maritime operations. JobMarineMan generates 100,000+ maritime traffic monthly — a live maritime audience, not an outdated CV archive.

Recruitment Infrastructure and Seafarers Database

Marine MAN has developed a maritime recruitment infrastructure where structured seafarer profiles are filtered by rank, vessel type, experience, IMO background, and nationality. Automated candidate matching ranks applicants according to vacancy requirements, reducing manual recruitment workload for crew managers.Multi-channel vacancy distribution through maritime Telegram channels, WhatsApp communities, and email campaigns delivers vacancies to thousands of active seafarers within minutes — enabling faster crew deployment without dependence on external recruiters.

Crew Management and Operational Continuity

Professional crew management directly impacts vessel uptime and retention of key officers. Marine MAN manages the full operational cycle: Crew Planning, Manning Services, crew mobilization in ports worldwide, certificate and visa control, medical examinations, rotations, retention programs, and 24/7 seafarer support.Fleet Crew Management operates as an extension of the shipowner’s office, reducing rotation delays and eliminating the need to maintain a large in-house recruitment department.

DOC Holder and ISM / ISPS / MLC 2006 Compliance

Marine MAN operates not only as a crew management company, but also as a DOC Holder for shipowners requiring full operational support. This rare combination of crewing and technical compliance under one responsibility structure minimizes Port State Control risks.Within DOC Holder and compliance services, we provide:

  • Safety Management System development and support under ISM Code;
  • ISPS Code implementation and audits;
  • MLC 2006 compliance;
  • Representation before classification societies and flag administrations;
  • Operational risk management and PSC preparation.

One partner for both Crewing and DOC Holder services means fewer contracts and a single point of operational responsibility.

Payroll — Stable Crew Salary Management

Reliable salary payments directly affect crew retention and the shipowner’s reputation within the maritime industry. Marine MAN’s international payroll service covers:

  • salary calculations under individual contracts and CBAs;
  • multi-currency payments worldwide;
  • allotments, advances, and deductions;
  • reporting and AML compliance.

We ensure transaction stability under strict banking compliance requirements — a critical factor for timely allotments and seafarer trust.

Flag State CRA — Seafarer Flag Documentation

Marine MAN provides Flag State CRA services, including endorsements and seafarer flag documentation under major registries such as Panama, Liberia, Malta, Antigua & Barbuda, Portugal (MAR), Marshall Islands, and others.Combining Flag State CRA with Crew Management within one company accelerates rotations and reduces delays caused by flag administration bureaucracy.

Vessel Database and Maritime Insights

Vessel Database is a structured vessel database with crew reviews, vessel photos, and operational information. Transparent vessel profiles help attract experienced officers and strengthen employer branding within the maritime community.The News and Insights section regularly publishes maritime market analytics, regulatory updates, and crew management materials — a practical tool for crew managers and DPAs.
