Crew management covers a broad range of activities including the recruitment, selection, placement, training and management of officers and ratings employed on our managed vessels. Travel services and payroll management are also an integral part of a crew management activity.

These services are provided by our in-house crewing company UNISHIP Crewing Ltd based in Odessa, Ukraine. UNISHIP is manned by a dedicated staff with many years experience in this facet of the business.

Our crews, both officers and ratings, are sourced exclusively from the Ukraine which has a vast pool
of highly skilled and experienced seafarers. We have a detailed database including full information
on all our seafarers’ previous employment record together with all their health information.

To this effect we are currently working with an established international Health systems provider to equip all our managed ships with the latest healthcare technology thereby providing our seafarers with up to the minute health assistance and at the same time keeping costs down by avoiding unnecessary delays to the vessel. This system is currently under exclusive trial on our vessels.

At INTRESCO, we place a high value on our crews as they are the people on the spot and it is up
to the efficiency and care they take in carrying out their duties that allows us  to run our ships safely and cost effectively. We therefore take great care in looking after them and ensuring they have a safe and friendly environment to work in.
