Why hire maritime professionals from Eastern Europe?
Centuries of maritime heritage, world-class training, and full regulatory compliance.
Strong maritime tradition
Romania's Black Sea coast — especially Constanța — has been a major maritime hub for centuries, producing generations of highly skilled seafarers and port workers.
World-class maritime academies
The Constanța Maritime University and Mircea cel Bătrân Naval Academy produce officers and engineers who meet the highest international standards (STCW certification).
Globally experienced crew
Romanian and Bulgarian seafarers serve on vessels worldwide — from Mediterranean ferries to transatlantic cargo ships — bringing diverse, real-world experience.
Full regulatory compliance
All placements are STCW-certified and MLC-compliant. Intermann verifies every certificate, medical fitness report, and flag-state requirement before deployment.
Competitive crew costs
Access experienced maritime professionals at significantly lower rates than Western European crews — without any compromise on qualifications or safety standards.
EU citizens — fast deployment
No visa delays. Romanian and Bulgarian maritime workers are EU nationals and can be deployed rapidly to any European port or vessel.
