- STCW, medical, and certification tracking with proactive renewal alerts
- MLC and SEA compliant crew administration
Qualified crew are easy to find. Crew who make guests feel genuinely looked after, who perform under pressure, and who fit the culture of your vessel — that is rare, and a database cannot assess it. ADY sources crew from a network built across fifty years of Greek maritime operations. These are people we know, whose work we have seen, whose captains we can call.
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. The right captain sets the tone for the entire vessel. The wrong hire costs a season.
What You Get
- Captain and officer placement from a personal Mediterranean network built over 50 years — matching by vessel type, operating style, and owner preferences
- Shortlists with context a database cannot provide — how the candidate performs under pressure, which owners they work well with, whether they suit the formality level of your vessel
- Emergency crew replacement coordinated within 24 hours — when something goes wrong at seven in the morning before a charter, there is a replacement by midday
- Full crew HR: contracts, payroll, social insurance under Greek maritime law — MLC and SEA compliant, registered with Greek maritime authorities
- STCW, medical, and certification tracking — renewals flagged before they lapse, no certificate expires unnoticed
How We Work
ADY does not operate a crew database. Placement starts with a structured briefing — vessel type, itinerary pattern, guest profile, language requirements, formality preferences — and candidates are sourced from a network of professionals we have worked with directly.
- Candidate vetting based on firsthand knowledge, not algorithmic screening
- Employment contract drafting under Greek maritime labour law
- Social insurance registration with Greek maritime authorities
- Crew documentation for charter operations — lists, permits, port clearances
- Annual performance evaluations coordinated with the captain
- Crew certifications, contract status, and expiry dates tracked through the management platform — flagged automatically
For Crew
Good crew administration makes a vessel worth sailing on. ADY provides crew with what they are entitled to expect:
- 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
- A dedicated ADY contact for crew queries — separate from the owner and captain
The Outcome
Your crew are professionals whose judgement you trust at sea, whose manner with guests is naturally warm, and whose administration is handled without your involvement. When something goes wrong at seven in the morning before a charter, there is a replacement by midday.
