Crew Management

Recruit, train, and manage qualified maritime crews worldwide — with full MLC compliance, transparent payroll, and genuine commitment to seafarer welfare.

Overview

Your crew is your most important asset. The safety of your vessel, the quality of your operations, and the satisfaction of your charterers all depend on having competent, well-trained, and well-supported seafarers on board. LegaSea's Crew Management service delivers exactly that.

We handle the full crew lifecycle — from recruitment and vetting through STCW-compliant training, flag state documentation, travel logistics, payroll processing, and welfare support. Our crew management is fully MLC 2006 compliant, ensuring your obligations to seafarers are met at every stage.

Our global crew pool spans multiple nationalities and ranks, with particular strength in officers and engineers for tankers, bulk carriers, container ships, and offshore vessels. Every seafarer in our pool is vetted, qualified, and supported throughout their engagement.
