Marlow Navigation Co. Ltd.

Marlow Navigation Co. Ltd was established in 1982 by Mr Hermann Eden who currently holds the position of Chairman.

During the early years the activities of Marlow Navigation were limited to crew management, which still remains our core business. In the nineties our scope of activities was extended to include technical management. In 1997 the company received the ISM Document of Compliance.

Marlow Navigation, along with its worldwide representatives, today supplies the full range of third party shipmanagement activities and is able to accompany a vessel from the drawing board all the way to her final days at sea.

The favourable business climate of Cyprus, our strong team on shore and at sea, and our ability to provide flexible, tailor-made solutions have contributed to an enviable reputation for dependability, business acumen and operating efficiency.

A total commitment to our clients' needs is what sets us apart!

Distinguished Global Reputation: Since the company’s humble beginnings in 1982, Marlow Navigation has grown to become a globally renowned and trusted name in the commercial ship management industry. From first working as a small team out of a rented office in the maritime hub of Limassol, to firmly emerging as a fully fledged ship and crew management company. Today, a network spanning more than 10 countries, with approximately 800 shore-based staff and over 14,000 crew onboard vessels at any given time, underpins the company’s success story, business sustainability, and client-focussed ethos. This steadfast progress, especially amid fast-changing and challenging market conditions is surely testament to our company’s service values, industry maturity, and adaptability.

Client-Focussed Services: Understanding shipowner requirements and expectations then making them our core responsibility is what truly allows us to provide tailor-made, effective solutions. Focus is always on striking a balance between cost-efficiency and quality, achieved by implementing established procedures and management systems, as well as embracing operating flexibility. Indeed, extensive industry experience is what puts us in good stead to better plan, integrate and deliver optimal results for clients. Our scope of services has over the past three decades broadened to incorporate a wide range of maritime management activities, including crew management, technical management, new building supervision, finance and administration, crew training and safety, and offshore crewing. Our full management department meanwhile operates a diverse fleet, including container ships, bulk carriers, multipurpose vessels, tankers, and other specialised vessels.

Solid Foundations in Crewing: Our company’s most important asset is its human resource – our crew! A strong, long-established and diverse team of both shore and seafaring staff is the cornerstone of our success. No doubt, in a demanding industry such as shipping, a highly specialised, trained and motivated team is crucial. This is why we put so much emphasis on making sure our crew training facilities maintain this high level of output. This includes a state-of-the-art maritime academy and international naval training centres, ensuring cadets are fully ready, certified and regularly appraised. At the same time, advanced quality management systems and procedures are set in place to safeguard lives of crew at sea, as well as the assets entrusted to us by our clients.
