Compliance & Safety Standards
Every seafarer we supply is fully verified against STCW, MLC 2006, IMO, ISM, and applicable flag-state regulations. Compliance is not optional — it is our foundation.
Maritime Regulatory Compliance — Without Exceptions
Ship Crew Agency operates with a compliance-first philosophy because we understand the consequences of non-compliant crew. Port state control detentions, flag state deficiencies, charter party disputes, and reputational damage are all risks that start with unverified crew.
Our compliance team performs multi-layer verification on every seafarer before they are proposed to a client — ensuring your vessels are protected at every stage.
STCW Certificate Verification
We confirm authenticity and currency of all mandatory STCW certificates directly with issuing maritime administrations.
MLC 2006 Compliance Check
Employment agreements, working hours, wages, and welfare standards verified against Maritime Labour Convention requirements.
Medical Fitness Clearance
ENG1 certificates and flag-state equivalent medical clearances confirmed through approved maritime medical examination centers.
Flag State Endorsement Check
Certificates of Competency endorsed for the specific vessel flag state requirements confirmed before crew joining.
Background & Reference Verification
Employment history, discharge book review, and direct reference checks with previous employers conducted for every candidate.
All seafarers verified against the 2010 Manila Amendments to STCW — the most current international standards for training and certification.
Full compliance with all MLC 2006 requirements covering employment agreements, wages, hours of work, accommodation, and seafarer welfare.
Seafarers supplied with vessel-type specific safety training — SOLAS, MARPOL, ISM Code, and applicable vessel safety requirements confirmed.
