OCN-Ocean Crewing Network Inc. is a Canadian-owned and operated marine manning and crewing agency. Unlike other crewing agencies we are dedicated exclusively to professional certificated STCW-95 mariners seeking placement in the challenging, ever-changing and expanding marine marketplace.
OCN is the first Canadian agency that provides employers and ship owners with an on-line database that can be accessed to select registered certificated mariners 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Approximately eight ship's officers from around the world register with OCN each working day.
Our certificated mariners are all STCW-95 compliant and the majority have additional endorsements, current marine seafarers medical certificates, as well as criminal record checks.
Our service offers extremely competitive rates and relieves the ship owner or employer of the time and expense of finding reliable certificated ship's officers anywhere in the world.
OCN's staff is experienced in coastal and oceangoing vessel crewing, yacht crewing, shore-based marine employment, and administration and logistics. We are committed to providing comprehensive service to mariners and ship owners alike.
We are committed to maintaining our thorough and up-to-date knowledge of relevant legislation. We uphold high business ethics and integrity in order to provide consistent, reliable service to client companies.
Most of the certificated officers in our database have additional STCW-95 endorsements and many years of sea-going experience, which enables them to adapt quickly to any type of sea-going vessel.
OCN's registered deck, engineering, electrical, refrigeration, shore-based and other officers are available immediately for short or extended marine employment.
