Crew Services
The best crew come from relationships, not databases.
Crew placement and management is one of the most consequential decisions an owner makes — and one of the most difficult to get right from a distance. ADY sources crew from a network built across fifty-four years of Greek maritime operations. These are people we know, whose work we have seen, whose captains we can call.
Crew Placement
- Captain, officers, and full crew sourcing from a personal Mediterranean network
- Matching by vessel type, operating style, and owner and captain preferences
- Candidate vetting based on firsthand knowledge — not algorithmic screening
- Emergency crew replacement coordinated within 24 hours when required
HR & Administration
Crew administration under Greek maritime law is technical and time-sensitive. ADY manages the full administrative layer so the owner is not exposed to compliance risk and the captain is not burdened with HR paperwork.
- Employment contracts under Greek maritime law, SEA compliant
- Crew payroll and social insurance administration (MLC 2006 compliant)
- STCW, medical, and first aid certification tracking — renewals flagged in advance
- Flag state crew documentation management
- Owner remains at arm’s length from crew administration — ADY is the interface
Crew certifications, contract status, and expiry dates are tracked through our management platform and flagged automatically — no renewal is missed, no certificate lapses unnoticed.
For Crew
Good crew administration makes a vessel worth sailing on. ADY provides crew with what they are entitled to expect: clear contracts, reliable payroll, and a point of contact that handles their professional administration without delay.
- Clear, compliant employment contracts — no ambiguity on terms or obligations
- Reliable payroll under Greek maritime law — paid correctly and on time
- Certification renewals tracked and flagged in advance — crew are not left to self-manage
- A dedicated ADY point of contact for crew queries — separate from the owner and captain
