From experienced officers and engineers to ratings, catering personnel and junior maritime talent, we help you identify candidates whose qualifications, experience and documentation align with your requirements.

A Crewing Partner You Can Rely On

Your vessels cannot wait for the right crew.

When you have a vacancy, a crew change approaching or an unexpected replacement requirement, you need a recruitment partner who understands what is required and responds accordingly.

Alpha Pacific Navigation works directly with shipowners, ship managers and maritime employers to understand their requirements and provide targeted recruitment support.

Access to Pacific Seafarers

Our Fiji base gives principals access to a network of seafarers from Fiji and the wider South Pacific.

Recruitment Against Your Requirements

We don't simply send CVs. We seek to understand the position, vessel and requirements before identifying suitable candidates for your consideration.

Screening & Documentation

Candidates are reviewed against relevant qualifications, experience, certification and documentation requirements.

Responsive Crewing Support

We understand that crewing requirements can change quickly. Our team works with principals throughout the recruitment and placement process.

Long-Term Partnership

We aim to build lasting relationships with principals who value consistent communication and professional crewing support.

Vessel type and relevant operational requirements.

Experience, qualifications, certification and sea service required.
