Core workflows for ship operators
These are the practical Crew2Sea advantages for operators: fewer irrelevant CVs, clearer agency control and document-aware decisions before a crew change becomes urgent.
Contact Crew2SeaStructured vacancy publishing
Publish one requirement with rank, vessel type, STCW certificates, licences, visas, oil-major approvals, language, DP class and contract dates.
Match score at submission
Every candidate is checked against position, experience, documents, visas, approvals, availability, passport, medical and seaman's book before review.
Priority agency release
Open vacancies first to priority agencies, then connected agencies, then wider visibility when more reach is needed.
Availability confirmed before review
Agencies attest that the seafarer is contactable and available for the exact join window before the submission is accepted.
Side-by-side candidate comparison
Compare fit, documents, availability and vessel experience without rebuilding context from separate CVs and email threads.
Fleet document radar
Track certificates, medicals, visas, seaman's books and licence risk against the contract window and wider fleet planning.
Document requests with controlled sharing
Request specific documents per submission and keep file access controlled instead of relying on email attachments or WeTransfer links.
Internal notes per submission
Record private operator-side review notes without exposing internal reasoning to the agency.
Automatic close-out after contracting
When one candidate is contracted, remaining submissions can be closed so agencies are not left waiting in silence.
Action queue for aged decisions
Surface submissions that need a decision with days elapsed, so good candidates do not age out because the thread was forgotten.
Vessel-linked manning view
Connect open positions, on-board crew, vessel data, complement gaps and submissions from the vessel view.
Placement history and feedback
Keep an immutable record of contracted hires, vessel snapshots, contract dates and post-placement evaluation for future decisions.
The work hidden behind every urgent crew change
"Bulk CVs arrive before anyone has checked whether the seafarer fits the vacancy."
Every submission is structured against the operator's live requirement before it reaches the review queue.
"Vacancy updates, candidate questions and decisions are split across mail, phone and WhatsApp."
One vacancy thread keeps the requirement, submission history, internal notes and decision trail together.
"Certificates, medicals or visas can look valid at sign-on but expire before sign-off."
Crew2Sea checks document validity against the effective contract end date, not only the join date.
"Trusted agencies and open-market reach are difficult to balance under time pressure."
Vacancies can move through priority agencies, connected agencies and public visibility in controlled phases.
"Operators forget to respond while candidates age out and agencies lose trust."
An action queue surfaces submissions needing a decision and keeps status visible to both sides.
"Vessel data, open positions, crew changes and candidate submissions live in separate tools."
Crew2Sea links the vacancy pipeline to vessel context, on-board crew, complement gaps and document risk.
From vacancy request to contracted crew

Set rank, vessel type, contract dates, certificates, visas, approvals, language and experience requirements once.
Release it to the right agencies
Start with priority partners, then connected agencies, then wider visibility when the vacancy needs more reach.
Review structured submissions
Compare fit, documents, availability and experience side by side instead of reading every CV from scratch.
Contract one and close the loop
Move the selected seafarer through the pipeline while the remaining submissions are closed with a clear status.
Chief Mate - Passenger Vessel
Contract 2026-03-17 to 2026-06-17
Relevant candidates before they reach your desk.
Each seafarer is checked against the vacancy before submission: rank, vessel experience, STCW and CoC requirements, passport, medical, seaman's book, visas, project approvals and availability window.
The score is transparent enough for an operator to audit and practical enough for an agency to fix gaps before wasting a review cycle.
For operators: the goal is not more candidates. The goal is fewer irrelevant submissions and a clearer reason why each candidate is in the shortlist.
A calmer control layer for fleet crewing.
Crew2Sea gives operators a shared workspace between internal fleet teams and external crewing agencies, without forcing either side to replace existing systems on day one. The FAQ covers common evaluation questions.
One vacancy source
Every agency works from the same structured requirement, contract window and document logic.
Side-by-side comparison
Compare submissions by fit, documents, availability and vessel experience instead of email order.
Document risk visible early
Expiry risk is surfaced before sign-on, including certificates that may expire mid-contract.
Agency network control
Use priority, connected and wider release phases without losing the decision trail.
One workspace for vacancies, vessels and document risk.
The operator view should connect the open vacancy to the vessel, the contract window, the candidate profile and the document status behind the decision.
Fleet manning status
See open positions and crew-change pressure across vessels.
Document expiry radar
Surface STCW, medical, visa and licence risk before it becomes operational.
Crew changes
Keep sign-on, sign-off and availability dates connected to the placement.
Placement history
Keep vessel, rank, contract dates and decision history available for future hiring.
Compliance checks follow the vessel and contract, not a generic CV template.
Crew2Sea structures the vacancy around the maritime data an operator actually needs: rank, vessel type, STCW, MLC-relevant contract data, flag-state requirements, visas, medicals, seaman's books and project approvals.
Contact Crew2SeaSTCW and CoC
Certificates and competency records matched to rank, vessel and contract dates.
Medical validity
Medical status and valid-until dates checked before submission.
Visas and books
Passport, seaman's book and active visa data kept attached to the submission.
