FAQ
Questions we are asked most
Nanak Ship Management offers crew management from India, covering STCW and MLC-aligned manning, credential vetting, training, welfare, travel logistics and payroll for vessels worldwide. North Star Maritime connects owners and operators to that team.
Manning means supplying crew whose certificates meet STCW competence standards and whose conditions follow MLC 2006. Nanak Ship Management crew management aligns each placement to both frameworks before the seafarer joins the vessel.
Nanak Ship Management quotes a 14 to 30 day onboarding timeline, depending on the vessel’s Class status and location. Share the vessel type, ranks and start date with the operations team to confirm what is possible.
Contracts are primarily BIMCO SHIPMAN plus tailored crew management agreements. Details of the ship management service are on the Nanak Ship Management website; ask operations how the agreement would apply to your vessel.
Yes, through the Nanak group: crew management at Nanak Ship Management, STCW-related training at the Nanak Shipping Institute and officer pathways at ProCareerTek. This means an owner or a seafarer can deal with one group for manning, vetting, courses and career guidance instead of coordinating several unrelated firms.
