I worked for Seaspan through Alpha Navigation. Alpha was honest, the crewing managers were polite and always ready to help.
When I was a rating, I worked with Alpha Navigation. It was a very good crewing company, and I hope to return to them.
I worked with Alpha Navigation about seven years ago on general cargo vessels. It was a good crewing company and there was no deception.
I have worked with Alpha Navigation for eight years. They do not charge any fees, and they pay for the medical examination and testing.
I worked with Alpha Navigation as a third engineer several years ago. The attitude of the crewing staff was the best I had encountered in Odessa.
I worked through Alpha Navigation on the vessel Ever Best. It was a terrible vessel with many problems, and the onboard management was very poor. The crew was also problematic, and the company ignored complaints about captains misusing money intended for provisions. I do not recommend this experience.
Alpha Navigation provided me with a job at Maersk, and I was satisfied with the cooperation. The crewing staff were among the most pleasant people I have worked with.
They kept me waiting for a week, repeatedly saying that they would hire me. Because of this, I turned down another vacancy, but in the end they said that my experience was not suitable and even started insulting me. It was a very unpleasant experience with their staff.
I worked for Alpha Navigation for 15 years, and I can confirm that it's important to look for good crewing agencies. You will find better career growth and a salary increase of 10-20%, and you won't have to deal with silly tests.
