AI for crewing agencies — less routine, same people
Crewing managers spend hours retyping forms, checking documents and writing letters. AI takes over the groundwork, while decisions stay with people. I have worked with Batumi crewing agencies for 20 years, I am a seaman by training, and I use AI every day — Claude Code, ChatGPT, local models in LM Studio and Ollama.
What AI can do in crewing
Forms and CVs into the database
AI reads forms, scans and PDFs and fills in the seafarer record. The manager just checks.
Document expiry
Finds expiry dates in documents and helps you never miss a renewal.
Shipowner application forms
Helps fill in each shipowner's application form from your database.
Letters and translation
Draft letters to shipowners and seafarers in English, Russian and Georgian.
Vacancies
A vacancy description in a minute — for your website, Telegram and Facebook.
Replies to seafarers
Drafts for frequent questions on WhatsApp and Telegram — the manager sends after checking.
Preparing seafarers
Interview questions by rank and vessel type, English practice.
Confidential
Seafarers' passports and documents stay in a local model on your computer — never sent online.
