We are aiming to have long-lasting and reliable relations with our Principals, as well as good reputation in the Marine Manning market. Therefore, we, “Avior Crewing Ltd”, always do an extremely thorough and professional selection of the seagoing staff.
And although technology has greatly increased our efficiency over the past few years, we are NOT a web-based business. We are a people based business, with real Crew Placement Coordinators, the devotees of their job, who INTERVIEW, who LISTEN, and who SCREEN.

• All of our officers and crews are carefully screened to meet the specific requirements of Owners and vessel types. Extensive interviews and testing techniques are undertaken to ensure you will have competent, highly trained and reliable ship’s personnel, which includes:
  – Pre-employment interviews, aimed to verify seafarer’s experience, competency, character and personality, potential and fitness. The seafarer’s qualifications and sea-service are cross-referenced with past employers, government agencies and other organizations to ensure they are true. Additionally, the seafarer’s professional attitude and psychological behavior are assessed through our personal interviews.
  – Check up the validity and authenticity of seafarer’s certificates in compliance with STCW ’78/95 CODE, IMO requirements and ISM CODE. The verification methods we use make certain the seafarers we supply possess the training and skills as stated in their certificates and licenses.
  – English language level tests – Marlins, CES.
  – Medical examination, medical fitness certificates including drug/alcohol tests, provided by the biggest and duly licensed Bulgarian Marine Medical centres, recognized by the Bulgarian Maritime Administration.
  – Familiarization with the Principals’ policy and “Safety Management System”.

  – Seaman’s entry, business and working visas;

  – Bus, train, car transfers within Bulgaria;
