Crew2Sea is a B2B maritime crew matching platform based in the Netherlands. It structures vacancy, submission and document data around STCW, MLC 2006, flag-state requirements and GDPR-aware handling of seafarer information.

This page targets the practical searches operators and agencies use when certificate expiry, STCW checks, MLC records or GDPR handling become urgent.
Contact Crew2SeaA certificate can look valid at sign-on and still expire before sign-off. Crew2Sea is designed to surface that risk before a candidate is placed.
STCW, medicals, visas, seaman's books and licences can be reviewed against upcoming crew changes instead of discovered at the final submission step.
Rank, vessel type, flag state, certificates, licences, visas, project approvals, language, DP class and contract dates are part of the vacancy requirement.
Operators can request specific documents per submission and agencies can fulfil the request in the same workflow, instead of sending sensitive files through unmanaged attachments.
Submission status, document requests, internal notes and placement decisions stay tied to the vacancy and seafarer record.
Crew2Sea is designed around controlled visibility, role-based access and careful handling of seafarer and crew submission data.
Crew2Sea connects the vacancy requirement, candidate submission, document evidence and contract window so compliance risk is visible while the decision is still being made.
Surface expiry risk for documents that matter to the crew change: STCW certificates, medicals, visas, seaman's books, licences and project approvals.
Expires before extended sign-off
Valid through contract window
Route requirement needs review
For crewing decisions, Crew2Sea is designed to check validity through the effective contract end date, not only the join date.
Certificates, endorsements and Certificates of Competency can be checked against rank, vessel and contract requirements.
Flag, vessel type, DP class, working region and project approvals belong in the vacancy requirement, not in a separate email.
Crew2Sea keeps seafarer data, document evidence and access-controlled sharing inside a structured workflow.
Crew2Sea does not turn compliance into a generic HR checklist. The platform vocabulary and workflow are built around vessel operators, crewing agencies, seafarer submissions and maritime document evidence.

Contract 2026-03-17 to 2026-06-17
Crew2Sea compares each seafarer submission with the operator's actual requirement: position, rank experience, vessel type, STCW and CoC requirements, passport, medical, seaman's book, visas, approvals and availability.
The important difference is timing. Agencies can see fit before submission, and operators receive candidates with the visible reason behind the score.
The score gives both sides a shared explanation: what matches, what needs review and what would block the submission.
Name, date of birth, nationality and passport validity.
Available-from and available-to dates checked against the join window.
Medical status and valid-until date checked before submission.
Certificates of Competency and licences matched to rank and vessel requirements.
Issuing country, validity and evidence kept with the seafarer profile.
Rank, vessel type, vessel name, flag, DWT and sign-on/sign-off history.
STCW trainings, project approvals and client-specific requirements where relevant.
Uploaded document files attached to the structured record.
This page is written for buyers who are already looking for a practical way to reduce certificate expiry risk, standardize submissions and keep a decision trail.
Crew2Sea structures STCW and CoC requirements inside the vacancy and candidate submission workflow.
MLC-relevant crew, contract and document data stays connected while placement decisions are made.

Crew2Sea is designed for operators and agencies handling personal seafarer data and document evidence.
The operator sets rank, vessel type, flag, contract dates, licences, STCW certificates, visas, approvals and experience requirements.
The agency checks the candidate profile, documents, availability and evidence against the live vacancy requirement.
Missing documents, expiry risk and route-specific visa questions are visible before the operator spends time reviewing the candidate.
Document requests, clarification, status changes and placement outcomes stay tied to the submission.
Clear terminology helps buyers understand that Crew2Sea is a maritime crew compliance and matching platform, not generic recruiting software.
