Crew Manning

The right crew can make all the difference.

Based in Manila, the heart of global maritime talent, Navilands Marine Inc., our manning and crewing agency, works tirelessly to find and train skilled professionals who bring experience and passion to every voyage.

The company offers strategic recruitment and comprehensive training, fosters loyalty, builds expertise, and raises the bar for excellence at sea.

Manning & Crewing

We pair the right vessel with the right talent.

Building the ideal crew for your ships begins with building a strong relationship amongst the seafarers themselves. Making them a close-knit team that will be 100% ready to tackle any challenge that comes their way the moment they step on board is essential. A team that’s loyal to one another, is a team that’s loyal to us and to you.

The result? A mutually beneficial partnership that is built to last.

  • Strategic Crew Selection: Every crew member is carefully chosen based on their experience, expertise, and compatibility with the vessel’s needs.
  • Crewing Pools: Continuity matters. That’s why we create pools of crew members for each client, ensuring familiarity and consistency.
  • Global Presence: While our manning agency’s home base is in Manila, a renowned hub for marine talent, we extend our network across the globe, working with trusted partners in Ukraine and China to source the best professionals for your fleet.
  • Cadet Development Program: Through our Cadet Development Program, we’re helping to shape the next generation of maritime leaders.

Training

We know that investing in our people is the key to creating successful teams that stay with us all throughout their journey, and so we have designed our training programs in Manila to empower every mariner to excel, no matter their rank.

Here’s how we help our crews grow:

  • Wide-ranging Modules: Our structured two-year program covers an extensive list of mandatory training modules, ensuring that every one of our employees is equipped with the skills and knowledge to perform at their best.
  • Specialized Education: From seminars and conferences to advanced tailor-made courses, we keep our people ahead of the curve.
  • Career Development: We provide clear pathways for promotion, helping our seafarers build meaningful careers and achieve long-term success.
  • Supportive Learning Environment: Whether it’s technical skills, safety protocols, or leadership training, we give our people the tools they need to grow, both professionally and personally.

At Navilands Group, training isn’t just about checking boxes. It’s about building confidence and sharpening skills, because when our people succeed, so does the entire marine industry.
