Crew & Manning

The right people.
Ready for the vessel.

UOC connects crew planning, professional seafarer information, documentation and vessel requirements in a structured maritime crewing environment.

Crewing As An Operational Function

Manning is more than
filling a vacancy.

A vessel depends on competent people arriving at the right time with the right experience, documentation and preparation.

Effective crew management requires visibility over rank, vessel experience, availability, certificates, rotations and the operational requirements surrounding every assignment.

UOC's crewing direction is built around organizing that information so ship-side and shore-side decisions can be made with greater clarity.

For Shipowners & Vessel Operators

Responsible Crewing

Crew services must follow
applicable requirements.

Maritime recruitment, placement and employment activities may be subject to flag-state, national, MLC or other jurisdiction-specific requirements.

Where licensing or local authorization is required, the relevant activity must be performed within the applicable regulatory framework and, where appropriate, through suitably authorized parties.

UOC does not present crew-pool registration as a guarantee of employment, placement or assignment.
