Mumbai ship management company starts recruitment for four new tankers
MUMBAI-BASED ship management company MMS Maritime India (MMSI) is to embark on a major recruitment drive for Indian seafarers, after its parent company, the Japanese ship owner and Kobe-based Meiji Shipping Group, unveiled an expansion of its tanker fleet.
Four new 28,000 dwt medium range (MR) tankers are to be delivered to Meiji by the beginning of 2016 and are presently under construction at a Japanese shipyard.
The Indian ship management company provides crew to Meiji's oil and gas tanker division which numbers 19 ships.
MMSI's CEO Sanjay Bhavnani: "MMSI currently employs around 300 crew and we are looking to recruit a further 80-90 seafarers from India to help man these four new ships. The positions we are seeking to fill will be across the full spectrum of roles from officers and masters to chief engineers. A number of senior positions will be filled from our existing workforce to ensure the ships have the right levels of experience and expertise. We will therefore be carefully selecting candidates to ensure they are of the highest calibre to maintain our rigorous standards."
The CEO said MMSI can offer seafarers career progression and tailored individual support and training.
"It is no accident that we have one of the highest retention rates in the industry. Our culture is to offer continuous learning. We aim to understand what the seafarers' ambitions are and seek to build roles around their strengths. It is further vital that our crew have the latest skills and training to ensure they are right at the cutting edge of technology."
