I worked through Nyki Shipping in 2017. After my contract, they promised me another one, so I did not consider other options. Two months later, they rejected me, saying that I was not suitable. This was very disappointing.
I am currently working through Nyki Shipping. The managers are friendly and stay in touch, and I have not had problems with the arrangements. The company works with several Dutch fleets in the North Sea, the Baltic, and the Caribbean. Contract lengths are usually around three months, plus or minus one month. Overall, I recommend the company.
I worked through Nyki Shipping as a deck cadet. My first contract was arranged for a dry dock, so I did not go to sea. I had no problems with signing off, and I believe there are opportunities for advancement. The crew I worked with was reasonable and taught me a lot.
I started with Nyki Shipping in 2013 as a cadet and progressed to Third Officer. It was a good crewing company, with everything handled clearly and without unnecessary hassle.
I worked through the company on my first contract and largely agree that the cadet experience depends heavily on the vessel and senior officers. During my next contract I stood watches, which gave me a real opportunity to learn.
I have been working with Nyki Shipping for a long time and have seen opportunities for career growth. The office staff are pleasant, and my experience with the company has been positive.
