FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What to know before the first enquiry
Concise answers about CV submission, employer requests, documents and communication.
How can a seafarer submit an application?
Go to the Submit CV page, enter current professional information and provide valid contact details. A relevant CV and the information required for the particular position are sufficient for initial review.
Does submitting a CV guarantee employment?
No. A submitted CV may be reviewed for current or future requests, but the final decision depends on vacancy requirements and the employer’s approval.
What information is required from a shipowner?
The basic request should include rank, vessel type, trading area, contract terms, joining date and requirements for experience, documents and English level.
Does COMPASS CREW verify documents?
We may review completeness, validity periods and declared information within the available lawful scope. This does not replace decisions by a competent authority, flag administration or employer.
How is communication handled?
Through the official contacts listed on the website and agreed channels. We recommend checking the sender address and never sharing passwords, banking codes or excessive personal documentation.
Where can I see open positions?
Open positions are available on the Vacancies page. When no suitable role is listed, a seafarer may submit a current CV for future requests.
