VLGC, MGC, semi-ref, fully-ref, ethylene — vetted per cargo.
Cargo-handling competence is verified against the vessel's actual system. No generic "gas-experienced" CVs.
IGC Code current
A named bench of senior officers for VLGC, MGC, semi-ref and fully-ref tonnage. IGC Code current. 14-day sign-on. 90-day replacement guarantee written in. Hormuz-willing sub-pool available on signed rider.
LPG crewing fails on cargo-system literacy, not on CV volume. We check every Master and Chief Officer against the vessel's actual containment system — fully-pressurised, semi-ref, fully-ref, ethylene — before the shortlist reaches you. IGC Code currency, last gas-trade voyage and terminal familiarisation are tracked in-house, not by self-declaration. When the charterer's vetting team calls, your Master answers in the language they're listening for.
Cargo-handling competence is verified against the vessel's actual system. No generic "gas-experienced" CVs.
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
