Shipowners · Aquaculture
Crews that know the cage edge.
We staff service vessels, wellboats and farm sites with people who have run the crane, washed the nets and kept equipment working. They deliver from day one.
Operational reality
We know the working day at the pens.
Rotation, certificates, weather and equipment. It is not just about paperwork: it is about people who know what happens when the crane swings out, or when it blows too hard to work at the cage.
Our candidates have operational backgrounds. They have assisted with delousing, run net cleaning, handled anchor work and kept vessels running in demanding conditions.
