— Since 2003

Crewing the world's
commercial fleet.

Meridian Crewing was founded in Piraeus in 2003 by a former Master and a fleet manager who believed seafarers deserved better than commission-driven middlemen. Two decades later, we still operate on the same principle: every officer and rating on our books is a long-term partner, not a placement fee.

— Our Standard

Three principles. Twenty years.

I.

Direct, transparent contracts

We negotiate terms with shipowners, not with seafarers. The salary you see in our offer is the salary you receive — net of all legitimate deductions, itemized on day one.

II.

On-time joining, every contract

Visa, medical, flights and contractual money in advance — coordinated by us. 97% of our joiners depart on the agreed date. The 3% is almost always weather or port congestion.

III.

Career, not placement

Our average officer stays with us 8+ years across 10+ contracts. We invest in training, promotions and family welfare. We are the agency seafarers introduce their sons and nephews to.
