I worked through this company for five years on chemical tankers and VLCCs. The salary was slightly lower than that offered by other owners represented by V.Ships, but employment was stable. The supply situation was average, and there were many Indian employees in the office. Overall, I consider it a reasonable place to start.
I currently work here on bulk carriers. The documentation workload is extensive: the tanker management system is not well developed, and there are many checklists for almost everything. Crew members are even asked to verify compliance with the MLC contract on board. Career growth is available. The crew is mixed, including Indian, Filipino, Omani, Russian and Ukrainian seafarers, with Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Egyptian crew members also appearing sometimes. Internet is limited to 2 GB per month for free, after which additional data costs $20 per GB.
I completed one contract on a VLCC through V.Ships, which handled the crewing. Overall, the work was acceptable. The crew was very mixed, including Omani, Pakistani, Indian, Filipino, Ukrainian and Russian seafarers, and I could have been the only European on board. Internet was available via VSAT, with 3 GB free per month and additional data costing $20 per GB. Salaries were handled by V.Ships and were paid without delays.
