Crewing · IT on contract

Your IT specialist on contract — for crewing agencies in Batumi and beyond

Bring me into your team: on a support contract, for a project, or as a part-time member of staff. I have worked with Batumi crewing agencies for 20 years, I am a seaman by training and have 25 years in IT — computers, network, website, software and AI from one specialist.

How we can work together

Support contract

Monthly: regular checks, priority call-outs, remote help and a report — at a clear, fixed price.

by agreement

Project contract

A vacancy website, seafarer database software, an office move or opening, AI adoption — with a plan, a timeline and a price.

by agreement

Part-time staff role

A few days a week in your office — like your own IT department, without the cost of a full-time hire.

Remote — for other cities and countries

Support via remote access, websites and software for companies outside Batumi.

by agreement

What a support contract includes

  • Regular checks of computers, backups, antivirus and updates.
  • Email and accounts: a new employee gets access the same day; a leaving employee loses it.
  • Scanners, printers, the network and a separate Wi-Fi for seafarers.
  • Workstations for seafarers' online tests — ready for every test.
  • Website and vacancies: updates, backups, small changes.
  • Help for managers with AI: letters, forms, translations.
  • Priority call-outs in Batumi and remote help during working hours.
  • A short monthly report: what was done and what I recommend.

Why it pays off

  • Cheaper than a full-time system administrator: no full salary, taxes or holidays to cover.
  • One specialist covers everything: computers, network, website, software and AI.
  • I understand crewing: I am a seaman by training and have worked with Batumi crewing agencies for 20 years.
  • No need to explain what an application form is or why seafarers' documents are confidential.
  • English, Russian and Georgian — including correspondence with shipowners.

Terms

  • A service contract: the scope of work, response times and the price — all in writing.
  • You can start with a one-off job or a short trial period — no long commitments.
  • Seafarers' data stays confidential; I sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) if needed.
  • Payment by bank transfer; a 3-month guarantee on the work done.

Who it is for

According to the official list of Georgia's Maritime Transport Agency, dozens of crewing companies and maritime organisations operate in the country — most of them in Batumi. I work with all kinds:

Crewing and manning agenciesCrew management companiesLocal offices of shipping and ship-management companiesShipping agenciesSeafarer training centres

How we start

  1. Getting to know you

    I visit your office: computers, network, website, how your managers work.

  2. A proposal

    The format (support, project or staff role), the scope and the price — in writing.

  3. Contract and start

    We begin with what is most urgent — backups and security.

  4. Work and reporting

    Every month: what was done and what comes next.

AI

AI in your crewing work

  • Forms, CVs and scans go straight into the database; the manager just checks.
  • Letters to shipowners, vacancies and replies to seafarers — drafts in a minute.
  • Seafarers' passports and documents stay in a local model, never sent online.
  • I train your managers — I work with Claude Code, ChatGPT, LM Studio and Ollama myself.

FAQ

Questions and answers

Can we hire you as staff?
Yes, that is open to discussion — for example, part-time: a few days a week in your office. It depends on your company's needs.
How much does support cost?
It depends on the number of computers and the scope. After seeing your office I quote a fixed monthly price — in writing, before any work starts.
What if something breaks urgently?
Contract clients come first: in Batumi I usually arrive within 1–2 hours, and much can be fixed remotely straight away.
Do you work with companies outside Batumi?
Yes: remote support, websites and software on contract for companies in other cities and countries.
How is seafarers' data protected?
Access for your staff only, backups and encryption; I sign an NDA if needed. My law degree helps me take this seriously.
