Overall, 2,100 seafarers work on board the vessels managed by Thenamaris at any given point in time, while the company marine personnel pool includes more than 3,600 seafarers. The crew comprises mainly of Greek, Bulgarian, Filipino, Ukrainian, Croatian, Ethiopian, Polish and Russian seafarers. Their professionalism, sound judgment, self-discipline and dedication ensure the prompt and safe transportation and delivery of cargoes, as well as the efficient and safe use of our principals’ vessels. The protection and well-being of the crew, the ship, the cargo and the marine environment are major considerations for all 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, PASAT in Croatia and EMA in Germany/Ethiopia.

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.
