Company mission
To use data, technology and operations on the ground to make crews and crew departments more effective on all the vessels in the world.
Our take
Maritime shipping is an integral part of 90% of global trade. Shipping crews, however, often have to deal with unfair manning processes, and a lack of transparency with pay and working conditions. Seafair is a crewing company looking to change this, helping shipping companies easily connect with vetted seafarers. It prioritizes efficient crew management, as well as ensuring crew members can access fair manning sponsorship.
Seafair was founded in 2020 and has had a promising start. The company is currently broadening its operational reach, with plans for Germany, Nordic countries, and the United States, and are flush with new funding to do so.
Certainly, its tight focus on transparency, and securing quality conditions and candidates, promises to improve maritime crewing for all parties. What's more, the crewing process is overdue the kind of digital streamlining that other industries already enjoy.
