Crew Management

Emphasize on finding the right candidate for right job. We never compromise with the quality of our crew because we believe that our strength lies with our crew only.

Selection

AZSS has a special online framework for supplying, choosing and selling seafarers to its customers. Customers may also remotely track the process from the comfort of their own workplace.

This is supported by two integrated applications, namely Crew Data Management (CDM) & Crew Management System (CMS). In Crew Data Management (CDM), all crew details including their CV, records, date of readiness / relief, etc. are uploaded, while customers can send an application in the Crew Management System (CMS). In the application system, we then receive a notification and propose electronically through the Crew Management System (CMS) that the client will see immediately with all the data of the candidate proposed. A special username & password is supplied to the client. Customers can then update the system in the Crew Management System (CMS) with interview date, acceptance, rejection, joining prospects, etc., saving their time and cost. Data from more than 5000 seafarers is included in our Crew Data Management (CDM). For temporary access to the system for their evaluation & feedback, interested parties can contact us.

Strict interviews are performed by highly qualified master and chief engineer to determine the technical performance, temperament, personality, communication skills, and compatibility with multinational crew, etc., stressing the right applicant for the right work. We never compromise on the quality of our crew because we believe that our power lies exclusively with our crew.

 

Documentation

All our seafarers MUST have a valid national seaman book (CDC), passport, certificate of competence and watch rating certificates, all short courses and special training certificates as per the specifications of STCW 95, as applicable.

In addition, it is also possible to arrange the CDC, COC and GOC required by the other flag state authorities.

Medical Fitness

Thorough medical testing, including drug and alcohol screening, must be carried out by a licensed medical professional or as ordered by the Principal/Owner prior to entering.

Cost

Our primary concern has always been the cost factor; we aim to find the most cost-effective approach to the requirements of our principal. We assume that cost is minimized by efficient operation and efficiency.

Not only did we keep the crew salaries competitive, we also kept the cost down by providing the monthly budget for Lump Sum, where we took full responsibility for all crew-related problems, including crew salaries, victual ling, allocation, accounts, relief schedule, etc., thereby eliminating workload from the office of our principal.
