Key responsibilities include arranging and coordinating comprehensive travel plans, including flights, accommodations, ground transport, and visa procurement, to ensure personnel arrive at their designated vessels without delay. The Crewing Coordinator must verify that all required documentation is valid and up to date, including passports, seafarer books, visas, medical certificates, and any other pertinent records.
Furthermore, the role demands strict adherence to international maritime regulations, flag state laws, and specific client or vessel-owner requirements. This includes ensuring that each crew member holds the necessary training, certifications, and qualifications required for their respective roles on board, and that all manning levels comply with contractual and legal obligations.
The Crewing Coordinator serves as a vital link between the company, its crew members, vessel operations, and external authorities, maintaining clear communication and detailed records to support operational efficiency, safety, and regulatory compliance at all times.
