MARITIME | SHORTSEA AND COASTAL SHIPPING
Never be left without a crew along the coast.
We deliver certified seafarers for coastal shipping, ferries, and short sea shipping—when operations cannot wait.
2,000+ Candidates
A large network of verified and certified professionals ready at short notice.
Achilles JQS Certified
Approved supplier to the energy and offshore industries.
Magnet JQS Certified
Qualified in accordance with the requirements of the Norwegian petroleum sector.
24/7 Readiness
We are available around the clock—even when time is of the essence.
OUR UNDERSTANDING
We have worked on ships ourselves. That is why we know what is actually required.
Most staffing agencies send people they have never met to assignments they do not understand. We are different: the team at Acroboat knows coastal shipping and knows what is actually required—in terms of expertise, personality, and certifications. This makes us advisors, not just a CV database.
24/7 Readiness
We are available around the clock—even when time is of the essence.
Familiarity with vessel types
Ferries, coastal freighters, live fish carriers, tankers, passenger vessels—we know the specific requirements for each vessel type and match personnel accordingly.
HSE commitment
Safety is never just a checkbox for us. We never send personnel to vessels where we wouldn't send our own team.
This is what we solve every day.
Sudden absence
Sick leave, emergencies, or a no-show. We activate our contingency list and deliver a certified replacement, so you don't have to spend time calling around yourself.
Planned rotation
A predictable shift schedule that actually holds up. We set up the rotation plan and deliver the right people at the right times, week after week.
High turnover
We find people who actually stay, because we match both competence and personality—not just availability.
OUR PROCESS
From initial need to
operational crew.
A seamless system designed to cut lead times and deliver the right crew
—every time.
01
You submit your request
Via form or phone. We just need the role, certificate requirements, period, and level of urgency. It takes two minutes.
02
We match against our database
We screen through 2,000+ candidates to find the ones who actually fit—based on competence, vessel type, and personality. Not just the first one available.
03
You confirm
We send you the CV and recommendation. Once you confirm, we handle the contract, travel arrangements, and all the paperwork.
04
We follow up
A dedicated contact person is available throughout the entire assignment. If any issues arise, we handle them.
Your peace of mind.
What happens if the candidate isn't a good fit?
Call us. We handle the situation and provide a replacement quickly. You are never left to deal with a problem alone.
What happens if something is missing from the paperwork?
It doesn't happen. STCW certificates, medical certificates, and trade certificates are always verified against original documents prior to departure—never based solely on the candidate's own word.
What happens if the need arises at night or during the weekend?
We are available 24/7. You get a dedicated contact person, not a switchboard that opens on Monday.

The price depends on the role, certificate requirements, and the duration of the assignment. We are completely transparent about pricing and will provide a concrete quote very quickly.
02 What do you do differently from other agencies?
We don't just send the first available candidate. Our team members have experience working on vessels themselves and truly understand what matters—when it comes to competence, personality, and certificates. This makes us trusted advisors, not just a CV database.
03 Can you deliver on short notice?
That is exactly why we exist. We do our utmost to deliver within 24–48 hours for urgent needs—and even faster whenever possible.
