Crew management:

Each ship has its own crew specifications, and it is SIA Scandinavian Ship Services job to choose the right people with the right experience. We organize their contracts, negotiate wages, insurance, traveling and training, and making sure that budget requirements are met in the most economical and common sense way, without compromising the high standards demanded of each crewmember.

Heavy emphasis is placed on the character, ability, and commitment of crewmembers during their selection, and qualifications are monitored and upgraded continually.

keys to the successful and safe operation of the ships we manage.
