Korean Shipowners & Managers — frequently asked questions
Can you crew newbuilds delivering from Korean yards?
Yes — takeover teams including gas trials support are a specialty; officers familiar with Korean-built vessels join ahead of delivery for familiarisation and sea trials.
Do you have LNG-qualified officers?
Yes — gas-endorsed Indian officers with steam, DFDE and ME-GI experience, screened for the specific containment and propulsion systems of your vessels.
What nationalities do you supply to Korean fleets?
Indian officers as the spine, with ratings from Vietnam, Indonesia and Myanmar as budget requires — every seafarer MLC-engaged and source-verified.
How quickly can a takeover team be ready?
With delivery dates known in advance, teams are typically proposed within a week and fully documented well before yard handover.
