My experience with K-Shipping was negative. I was sent to old tankers with poor internet and Indian management, and there were also calls at Iranian ports. The crewing company demanded money upfront, and instead of supporting or promoting me, they later damaged my reputation and stopped responding.
I work with K-Shipping, and the company takes my wishes and requests into account. They have also helped me with career-related matters based on my previous experience.
I have been working with K-Shipping for about two years. The staff are attentive and always stay in contact.
K-Shipping offered me a start on an LPG vessel for a stated payment. I had only cadet experience, but the vessel remained at anchor for a long time, and the company stopped updating me before the war. As a result, I did not get the job.
K-Shipping helped me with career development and a transition to another type of vessel. I had problems transferring my salary because of my location, but everything was paid in cash after the contract ended. I can recommend them for starting in a position and continuing to work with them.
I have worked with K-Shipping since 2021. I initially joined as a second officer to take over an old tanker, where the food and supplies were good at first. The shipowner later had financial problems and my salary was delayed for two months, but K-Shipping's management covered the payment and resolved the issue. The office remains responsive and supportive, including with documents and salary transfers, and I plan to continue working with them.
I have worked with K-Shipping since 2021 as a chief officer. Questions were resolved quickly, including matters related to medical examinations, special joining and replacement arrangements, and salary. The office is always available and offers a wide choice of vessels. The main drawback is that many vessels date from the 2000s.
I am working through K-Shipping on my third contract as a chief officer on tankers. The crewing team helps with joining, and I have had no salary problems.
I am working through K-Shipping on my fourth contract as a senior engineer. The staff are helpful with joining arrangements, salary payments always arrive, and they try to arrange crew changes on time. I work on tankers; the crews are mixed and the vessels are generally decent.
K-Shipping fulfilled what was promised and has many tanker vacancies. They also helped resolve a problem with a salary transfer from the UAE. I recommend working with them.
I am currently on a vessel as a third engineer on a VLCC through K-Shipping. Everything they told me has matched reality, and I am satisfied with the company.
I have completed more than one contract through K-Shipping and currently work as a second engineer on tankers. The staff know their job, are willing to help and assist when problems arise. I plan to continue working with them.
I worked through K-Shipping as a third engineer and liked the company and its staff. They were helpful with employment, and I plan to continue working with them.
I am working through K-Shipping and this is my second contract with them. In my experience, the company is generally acceptable and offers opportunities for officers to start.
I have worked through K-Shipping on tankers. I have had no salary problems, the hiring process was reasonable, and the office responds and helps when problems arise on board. The food was normal, and the crews were mixed.
I am currently working through K-Shipping. They have fulfilled what was agreed, are always available and I have had no problems with salary payments.
I am currently working through K-Shipping and have had no negative experience so far. The staff are decent, stay in contact and help when needed.
This was my first contract through K-Shipping, and I joined within a week as promised. I had no salary problems, and any issues were handled quickly and clearly. The food was acceptable, while the vessels were older and somewhat worn.
I worked through K-Shipping as a third engineer and was satisfied with the managers' attitude. They were very communicative and easy to deal with.
I started through K-Shipping on a three-month contract and worked under an Iranian flag. The crew was mixed, including Ukrainian, Pakistani and Indian seafarers. The food was good, and the salary for November was paid at the end of December; problems with transfers during the war were eventually resolved. I am now going to work through them again, as the office supports career growth and tries to promote seafarers.
I had a negative experience with K-Shipping Group. They take 50% of my monthly salary as agency fees, which amounts to 7,000 USD. It feels unfair, and I wouldn't recommend them.
