LNG crewing is unforgiving on two axes: regulatory currency and terminal familiarity. We track both in-house — every officer's STCW V/1-2 endorsement, BOG management hours, and last terminal call are versioned in our matrix. When you need a Master for a Ras Laffan run or a Sabine Pass loading, the shortlist already filters for it. No re-screening, no surprises at vetting.

Shortlist in 48 hours, on-deck inside 14 days, all documents pre-checked.
If the officer underperforms in the first 90 days, we replace at our cost. No fine print.
Document audit, cargo-system match, English (MES), references, psych screen, charterer-readiness — every officer in the bench has passed all eight before they reach your inbox.
Sixteen-plus years in maritime crewing — across operations, recruitment, sales and CEO roles. Vitalina founded New Star Marine to close one gap: the broker rarely sees the charterer's vetting file, and the seafarer rarely sees the off-hire bill.
"Owner pain in one ear, seafarer pain in the other. The agencies that win this decade will speak both languages." — Vitalina Volodchenko, Founder
