Crew Management

Unique Shipping & Agencies place the highest priority on recruiting, training and retaining the best quality crew and this activity is carried out through a uniquely decentralized Crew Management System.

We are committed to develop and maintain a sufficient pool of qualified marine officers and ratings to meet our customers' requirements.
