- CREW MANAGEMENT
Acheon Akti Navigation provides crew management services either separately or as part of a full management package.
Our Company seeks to offer clients the best possible service and this philosophy is reflected in the calibre of the crew on board.
As we believe that a well-trained crew improves vessel productivity, our company has established procedures to motivate and train the crew and ensure they are capable of maintaining our high standards.
We adhere to national and international requirements for manning vessels and every crew member joining the vessel must comply with the STCW 95 Convention. We ensure that records of sea-staff are readily available for verification.
Because training is a keystone of our crewing policy, every vessel we manage is in the hands of capable seamen and all members of the crew are strongly encouraged to develop a sense of belonging to the vessel and loyalty to the company.
