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
