For seafarers: forms, CV, English and a laptop for the voyage
I am a seaman by training myself — a deck seaman with a valid seaman's book — as well as an English teacher and an IT specialist with 25 years' experience. I have worked with Batumi crewing agencies for 20 years and know what they expect from an application form and an interview. I will help you get ready for your voyage — documents, English and devices.

Filled in correctly: sea service, vessels, documents — without the mistakes crewing agencies notice.

from 50 GELA laptop for the voyage: what I do
- All Windows and software updates before departure, while fast internet is available.
- Auto-updates and cloud sync switched off so expensive data is not wasted at sea.
- A backup and copies of your documents — on a USB stick and in the cloud.
- Offline: films, books, dictionaries, English, maps — everything works without internet.
- Antivirus and protection from other people's USB sticks — there are many on board.
- Battery and charger check; advice on adapters and a surge protector.
- If the disk is old, an SSD makes the laptop faster and more reliable.
- Passwords in a password manager; backup login codes for your email.
A seafarer's documents — always at hand
- A good scan of every document: passport, seaman's book, CoC and certificates, medicals, visas.
- One folder with clear file names — easy to send to a crewing agency.
- Copies on a USB stick and in the cloud, password-protected.
- Phone reminders 3 months before each document expires.
