When the Storm is Inside You: the Problem that is not Talked About - Suicidal Tendencies at Sea.

The seafarer's profession is one of the most stressful, with high isolation and harsh working conditions, and can lead to increased stress levels, depression and, as a consequence, suicidal risks.

What leads a person to suicidal thoughts and what should you do if you have suicidal thoughts?

TOP European Marine Training Centres. Where to go When Certificates Expire?

Every five years the command staff is required to change certificates and update the package of documents for further work. Ratings need to improve their qualifications to move up the career ladder.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have vacancies? Do you place seafarers in jobs?

Ukrcrewing.com.ua is a website that helps seafarers find work and employers find crew. We are not a crewing company and do not place seafarers in jobs.

Vacancies are posted by employers themselves. Around 200 crewing companies use UkrCrewing on a regular basis. They post vacancies and search for seafarers in the CV database.

Seafarers find work on UkrCrewing in two ways: by applying to vacancies themselves or by receiving offers from companies that found their CV in the database. That's why it's important to fill out your CV in detail, update it regularly, and apply to vacancies.

Why can't I upload my own CV to the site?

UkrCrewing uses its own CV form - the same for all seafarers. Every seafarer's own CV looks different: different formats, structure, and amount of information. If seafarers simply uploaded ready-made files, it would be harder for employers to search for seafarers and quickly compare candidates.

That's why we ask you to fill out your CV directly on the site. All data goes into the right fields, search runs on those fields, and employers see CVs in a format they're used to.

We understand that filling out a CV takes time. Especially if you have to do it on several sites. But a good job offer is surely worth it.

Can I skip the certificates and work experience sections?

If you have certificates and work experience from the last 5 years, they must be included in your CV. Of course, entry-level seafarers may not have such experience yet. In that case, fill in the information you have at the moment.

For a crew manager, these sections are among the most important. They use them to assess a seafarer's experience, qualifications, and fit for a specific vacancy. If the information is incomplete, they have to contact the candidate and clarify everything separately.

And employers have plenty to choose from. If there's a well-completed CV right next to it, it's easier to review that one first than to spend time chasing missing information. So a thoroughly completed CV is, first and foremost, in your own interest.

We also recommend filling in the "Additional Information" field. Include details that aren't covered in the main sections of your CV: additional skills, experience with specific equipment, a promotion you've received, or anything else that may matter to a crew manager.

Look at your CV through a crew manager's eyes. What sets you apart from another seafarer with similar experience? Why should they choose you?

What do I get from placing my CV in the TOP?

TOP placement makes your CV more visible to crewing companies.

It appears in a dedicated block at the top of the page, so a crew manager sees it before regular CVs — before they even run a search.

Regular CVs gradually move down the list. TOP keeps your CV visible for the entire placement period.

TOP CVs get viewed 4 times more often on average. The more companies see your CV, the better your chances of receiving a job offer.

Another advantage: the contact details of seafarers in the TOP are open to all logged-in crewing companies. For regular CVs, contact details are available only to companies that have paid for CV database access.

UkrCrewing offers 4 TOP placement options — you can choose the one that fits your goals and budget.

More about placement options and pricing

What is CV mailing and how does it work?

CV distribution is a service through which we send your CV to employers in more than 70 countries worldwide.

The distribution is handled by our specialist, not an automated system. Before sending, they will review your CV, suggest improvements, and help you write a cover letter. You can discuss the details of the distribution with them, ask questions, and clarify anything that matters to you.

You can exclude specific companies from the distribution. If the CV used for distribution was completed on UkrCrewing, a 20% discount applies.

Details and pricing are available here:

CV mailing to employers

Does CV mailing guarantee employment?

No, that's not something anyone can guarantee. The outcome depends on many factors: demand for your position and the number of candidates for it, age, English level, required certificates and visas, experience in the position, on a specific vessel type, with a specific engine type or other equipment. And, of course, on whether the employer currently has a suitable vacancy.

If there is no suitable vacancy at the moment, the company may keep your CV in its database and contact you later when one becomes available.

CV distribution does not guarantee employment. Its purpose is to get your CV in front of more crewing companies. Ours is to help you prepare your CV and cover letter so that you present yourself to employers in the best possible way.

Who does the CV mailing - you or me?

Both options are possible.

If you order the "CV Mailing to Employers" service, we handle the distribution. Our specialist reviews your CV, helps you prepare a cover letter, agrees on the details with you, and sends your CV to the selected crewing companies.

If you prefer to do it yourself, you can purchase our database of employers from more than 70 countries. You'll receive an Excel file with the companies' contact details and can send them your CV on your own.

The advantage of this option is that the database can be used repeatedly. Many contacts stay valid for several years, since company email addresses rarely change.

Employers database for sending out your CV yourself

How can I get a contract faster?

There's no one-size-fits-all approach, but there are several steps that improve your chances of finding work.

Keep your CV up to date

New and updated CVs move higher in the list and are also included in email alerts sent to employers.

When an employer posts a vacancy, UkrCrewing automatically selects suitable candidates and sends the employer a list. Only up-to-date CVs make it onto that list.

Crew managers say that CVs that haven't been updated in over a year attract less interest. Ideally, update your CV every 3–6 months.

There are currently over 25,000 updated CVs on UkrCrewing. What are the odds that a CV with outdated information will get noticed?

Apply to vacancies yourself

Don't just wait for offers from employers.

Check new vacancies regularly and apply to the ones that suit you. Filter by position, vessel type, and other criteria — it will save you time..

Contact employers directly

Choose the companies you'd like to work with and send them your CV. UkrCrewing lists more than 1,600 employerss from around the world, and their contact details are publicly available.

If you're doing all of this but your CV still isn't getting much interest, take a critical look at it.

Check whether your CV has enough information

Are all required certificates and documents listed? Is your work experience for the last 5 years filled in? Is there information that may matter to a crew manager?

If you can work in more than one position, list a secondary position.

Look at other seafarers in your position

Compare experience, certificates, and skills. This will help you understand what your CV may be missing and which skills are worth developing.

You can also promote your CV to the TOP.

Even a well-completed and regularly updated CV can quickly slip down the list. UkrCrewing has over 25,000 up-to-date CVs.

TOP placement moves your CV up and makes it more visible to crew managers. As a result, your CV gets more views, and you have a better chance of receiving an offer fromn employer.

UkrCrewing offers 4 TOP placement options.

More about the service and pricing

If I fill out my CV on your site, will I be able to see who has viewed it?

Yes, UkrCrewing offers this feature. You can find out which employers have shown interest in your CV, when they viewed it, and how long they spent on your CV page.

The statistics help you understand how appealing your CV is to employers. If your CV is viewed regularly, that's a sign of genuine interest from companies. If there are few views, it's a reason to check whether your CV is detailed enough, when it was last updated, and what could be improved.

Most importantly, you see the specific companies that have already taken notice of you. You can look through their vacancies, learn more about the company, and, if you wish, contact them directly. In other words, instead of just waiting for an offer, you can use this information in your job search.

CV view statistics are available as an additional service.
