AIELYM Maritime Group supplies dry bulk owners and ship managers with verified officers and ratings for bulk carriers from Handysize to Capesize, including crews experienced in grab, conveyor and gearless operations. You receive a shortlist within 24–72 hours and pay only on placement.

Ranks we supply for bulk carriers

We cover complete bulk carrier complements and individual vacancies.

Experience matched to your vessel size and gear

Handysize and Supramax vessels with cranes place different demands on deck officers than gearless Panamax and Capesize tonnage. We match candidates by vessel size and by cargo gear — grab, conveyor or gearless — as well as by trading area.

Rotation planning for dry bulk fleets

For owners with several bulk carriers we plan reliefs ahead of contract expiries so that crew changes can be aligned with port calls rather than forcing deviations.

Five checks before a candidate reaches your desk

Every CV we forward has passed the same structured screening under our ISO 9001:2015 certified Quality Management System. You receive candidates with documents attached, not raw applications.

  • Sourcing and full document collection from our active crew pools
  • National licence and STCW certificate authentication with issuing administrations
  • Sea service records cross-checked, references requested from previous employers
  • Rank-specific professional interview, including English assessment
  • Final compliance review: medical fitness, visas and contract terms

Commercial terms: you pay only on placement

Candidate presentation is free of charge. A fee applies only when a candidate we presented is successfully placed on your vessel. There is no retainer and no exclusivity requirement.

In line with MLC 2006, seafarers are never charged for placement — which protects your vessel from the retention and conduct problems associated with fee-paying crew.
