I have completed four contracts with Unimor. Salary payments were always made on time, although the pay was slightly below the market average. The contracts were long, especially for ratings: although they were formally around seven months, in practice crew members usually stayed for eight to nine months, while replacements were arranged more regularly mainly for captains and chief engineers. The vessels ranged from relatively new to quite worn, and career progression was reasonably good; the cadet program, however, was mainly used as a source of cheap labor.
In 2011, I worked with Unimor in technical management as a Second Engineer. During a repair period, I saw that the company provided virtually no support; in fact, there was almost nothing available from them. This was my personal experience at that time.
I am currently working for Unimor on an older vessel. There is plenty of work, and the supply situation is tight, although recent requests were mostly fulfilled. The food is adequate but not very varied; in our case, the captain insisted on purchasing provisions from a cheaper supplier, which benefited the crew. Salary payments are stable and the pay level is high compared with my previous employer; overall, Unimor has been better in all respects.
