I had a positive experience with ASP Crew Management. They placed me on a Handysize vessel after I passed an interview directly with German representatives. No agency commission was requested, and the process was handled professionally.
I definitely recommend ASP Crew Management. I was employed free of charge as a Second Engineer on a Panamax vessel with Oldendorff Carriers. The interview was conducted directly online with German representatives, and the entire process was clear and straightforward.
I recommend ASP Crew Management. The requirements were clear, the crewing managers were pleasant, and the interviews were conducted directly online with German representatives of Oldendorff Carriers. The company sent me to training courses and later employed me. I worked on a Cape-size bulk carrier built in 2011, which was in very good condition; the food was also good, and having a Junior Engineer in the engine department was a plus.
I have been working through ASP Crew Management with Oldendorff Carriers for three years. My salary is paid on time, crew changes generally cause no major problems, and the usual waiting time for a new assignment is no more than one or two weeks after I am ready. On almost all vessels, 30 GB of Starlink internet per month is provided free of charge, and I have had no problems with provisions or food.
I was sent to Oldendorff Carriers through ASP Crew Management and completed my contract in a mixed crew. My salary, supplies, and crew changes were handled on time, and getting a cash advance was not a problem. The captain was difficult, and although I received an excellent reference, I was not offered another contract. The salary through ASP was lower than the amount offered by another crewing company for a similar position.
