Overall, more than 2,000 seafarers work onboard the vessels managed by Thenamaris, while the company marine personnel pool includes more than 3,700 seafarers. The crew comprises Greek, Filipino, Bulgarian and other Eastern European seafarers. Their professionalism, sound judgment, self-discipline and dedication ensure the efficient and safe use of our principals’ vessels, as well as the prompt and safe transportation and delivery of cargoes. The protection and well-being of the ship, the crew, the cargo and the marine environment are major considerations for anyone working on board.

Training and supporting our on board personnel

New recruits are carefully selected and along with experienced crew members undergo an extensive and continuous training program, both ashore and on board. Prior to embarkation seafarers receive a detailed briefing on technical, operational, crew-related, and safety and quality-related matters. Crew recruitment, training and scheduling are supported by a dedicated marine personnel team in our head office in Athens, as well as by Thenamaris Philippines Inc. in the Philippines, Thalatta Shipping and Marine Services Limited in Bulgaria, Eurocrew in Ukraine, and at times other crewing agencies.

Our people ashore support the seafarers serving on board the vessels managed by Thenamaris around the clock and ensure a friendly, cooperative relationship; doing so helps facilitate seamless communication and excellent collaboration between sea and shore.
