The need to meet extremely high standards and to be accountable are paramount in the marine industry. We have recently undergone a full audit by Lloyds Register. I’m pleased to say this was successful and we will shortly be replacing our existing BVQ ISO accreditation. We will be moving to ISO 9001:2008 and this helps ensure we follow a thorough quality process in all areas of recruitment and crew management. We feel this is beneficial for both applicants and clients alike. It obviously helps give piece of mind to ship owners and managers who rely on us to provide staff, however it also means that our applicants know that they will be considered for suitable positions and they have the added security of knowing our standards are high and we follow a process when placing them within the shipping industry.
