Venezuelan Seafarers, Fleet-Ready

Venezuela's oil economy built a national fleet culture, and with it a pool of tanker-experienced seafarers formed in PDVSA-era fleets and Caribbean trading. Venezuelan officers and ratings offer genuine product- and crude-tanker experience, Spanish-English bilingual capability and strong familiarity with Americas, Caribbean and Atlantic trades — an interesting, cost-effective option for owners operating in the region.
