About Us ShipCrewAgency

Our Story

Your Trusted Bangladeshi Crewing and Shipping Partner!

ShipCrew Agency is operated by Compass Shipping Service Ltd., founded in 2006 in Chittagong, Bangladesh. What began as a local crew management operation has grown into a globally recognized crewing and maritime services provider, trusted by ship owners across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

Over the years we have expanded from basic crew supply into a full-service maritime agency offering ship manning, port operations, crew welfare, maritime consulting, and STCW-certified training coordination — all from our base in Chittagong, at the heart of Bangladesh’s shipping industry.

Today, ShipCrew Agency holds License No. MLA-108 (MLC 2006) and operates in full compliance with IMO, STCW, ISM Code, and Maritime Labour Convention standards.

We offer a comprehensive suite of services tailored for the global shipping industry:

  • Seafarer Recruitment & Supply: Certified crew for cargo ships, tankers, container vessels, and more.

  • Ship Manning Services: Full lifecycle crew management—from recruitment to training, deployment, and repatriation.

  • Maritime Consulting & Training: Advisory services for operational efficiency, risk management, and crew certification programs.
