Ocean Grow works through each item with you — the scope of work and deliverables are set out below.
Ocean Grow has established and enforces rigorous selection and training procedures, giving us a detailed picture of every seafarer's qualifications, competence, character and needs. We have extensive experience employing crew from the Philippines, Indonesia, Myanmar and other countries, assess familiarity with assigned duties on a regular basis, and operate a re-employment scheme for high-performing seafarers — providing owners with a consistent supply of quality crew.
