Southern Ship Management Co., Ltd

SOUTHERNSHIP was established since 2011. The company was founded and has grown up as a result of its founder's plentiful achievements and experience after his long engagement in the crew manning field for the past decade. He has accumulated a lot of crew manning experience through different positions at Vietnam National Shipping Lines (Vinalines) and several other shipping companies During this period he was involved in planning and carrying out the supply of Vietnamese crew for renowned shipping companies, such as, Inlaco Japan, in Japan, Pos Ship Management in South Korea, and GLBT Ship Management in Singapore.

Consequently, SMC has good connections among the crew pool in Vietnam and can easily mobilize good seafarers to meet crewing orders from foreign ship-owners/managers.
Staffed with highly skilled professionals and competent crewmembers who have extensive experience and expertise in the crew manning agency respect, SMC is always available at all times to meet principals' crewing needs. SMC lives up to its commitment to serve principals whenever and wherever they need most efficiently. SMC would like to emphasize that providing perfect service to principals in the respect of manning agency is our top goal. We commit ourselves to providing fast, reliable and economical agency service to all principals without compromising on quality. SMC is now supplying a full Vietnamese crew complement for vessels Za Jenfuku, Cranes Island, Phonix Island of Blue Phoenix Shipping SA in Japan. Our crewmembers have been working well and satisfied the Owner and Manager's requirements. SMC is working hard to expand its crewing market, aiming for the Japanese market because this is a market attractive and suitable for Vietnamese crew.

SMC would suggest that given severe conditions in today's shipping market employing Vietnamese crew for your vessel would be an appropriate choice because this would help you reduce your manning costs by a wide margin in comparison with the employment of crew of other nationalities such as Filipino, Chinese or Myanmar. You should not necessarily be worried about Vietnamese crew's quality because big Japanese ship-owners, for instance, Nissho Shipping Co., Sugahara Kisen Co., Ltd, Nippon Steel Shipping Co….have been employing Vietnamese crew for nearly 20 years and now they confidently man full Vietnamese crew complements for vessels of up to more than 200,000 dwt. This evidently proves that Vietnamese crewmembers are qualified and can satisfy the strictest owners like Japanese ones.
