Finding shipowners and partners for your crewing agency
I help crewing agencies reach shipowners and ship managers: I prepare a presentation and a page in English, research suitable companies and handle the first correspondence. I am a seaman and an English teacher by training, with 20 years of work alongside Batumi crewing agencies — I know what matters to a shipowner.
What I do
Goals and strengths
Which vessels and ranks you crew best, which seafarers you have most of, which shipowners suit you.
Company presentation
A short presentation and a one-pager in English: experience, seafarer pool, how you select people.
A page for shipowners
An English section on your website, plus LinkedIn and industry directories.
Company research
Shipping and ship-management companies your seafarers may suit; contacts from public sources only.
Letters and follow-up
First letters in English, replies, reminders, preparation for calls.
Partner-ready documents
Application forms and seafarers' documents prepared to a new shipowner's requirements.
AI in partner search
- A quick review of shipping companies' websites: fleet, regions, who they hire.
- Draft letters in good English — I check and polish them personally.
- Decisions and key conversations stay with people, not AI.
Why I can do this well
- A seaman by training: deck seaman with a valid seaman's book — I speak the same language as shipowners.
- A qualified English teacher — letters and presentations in clear, natural English.
- A lawyer by education — careful with contracts and seafarers' data.
- 20 years with Batumi crewing agencies and more than 15 crewing websites built.
