56°–62° N · North Sea & NCS

Offshore crewing for the North Sea and the NCS.

Marine crews for OSVs, subsea and energy support: DP operators, ETOs and officers with the certificates already verified when you see the shortlist.

The short answer

Norwegian offshore crew, ready for your marine department.

Bluecrew supplies marine personnel to offshore and energy operations on the Norwegian continental shelf and in the North Sea: dynamic positioning operators, electro-technical officers, deck and engine officers, and ratings for OSVs, subsea support and walk-to-work vessels. Bluecrew is the employer of record: contracts, payroll, insurance and travel to the vessel are handled by us.

Offshore work stands or falls on paperwork that holds up: STCW certificates, DP logbooks and medicals are checked at source before a candidate is presented, and the 48-hour replacement guarantee applies if a placement doesn't work out.

STCW requires working English of officers, and our offshore crews are used to international marine departments. Requests, shortlists and contracts can run entirely in English.

What this sector demands

What offshore operations actually demand.

DP-classed operations

DP vessels need operators with current certificates and real time on the desk. We verify both: the logbook, not just the licence.

Rotations that hold

A 4:4 plan only works when the crew change actually happens. As employer of record we own travel and relief planning, so the vessel is not chasing flights.

Certificates without surprises

Expired STCW refreshers surface at the gangway if nobody checked. Ours are checked at source before the shortlist reaches you.

The paperwork

Documented, not promised.

Approved staffing agency

Registered in the Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority's official register of approved staffing agencies.

48-hour replacement

If a placement doesn't work out, we replace the crew member within 48 hours.

Verified certificates

STCW and national certificates checked at source, before a candidate is presented.

Employer of record

Bluecrew employs the crew: contracts, payroll, insurance and travel are our responsibility, not yours.
