Steady hands for your fleet, from the heart of Dubai.

Star Cloud Shipping provides crew, commercial and technical management to shipowners, as individual services or as one complete management package.

01 Crew Management

Motivated, competent crews make safe ships

Motivated and competent crew are the cornerstone of safe and efficient shipboard operations.

Star Cloud Shipping provides crew management either as a stand-alone service or as part of a full management package. We source and manage experienced officers and ratings who are well trained and committed to the vessels they serve and to our clients' needs.

Crew welfare and retention are priorities for us. Strong policies and procedures keep standards high and crews stable, and our crew management package gives seafarers the training, skills and character they need to protect our clients' reputations.
