Large or small, every organization‘s competitive advantage is their people. To achieve a constantly good performance of the vessels we concentrate on clearly defined crew responsibilities and high retention rates. We enable our crews to continuously improve their abilities and skills through onboard, computer-based and shore-based trainings as well as in-house seminars. Our commitment towards the seafarers is expressed in direct ship-owner employments as well as our liaison offices in Kingston, Istanbul, Riga and Lima.

We want our crew to be part of Harren & Partner and that they feel connected to the fleet. Furthermore, we have always put particular emphasis on thorough education and training of our crews on board the H&P fleet. Running our own crewing agency enables us to reinforce our activities in this area and to give our H&P seamen proper trainings according to our requirements and needs.

Further Information on opportunities for pupils and students:

Apprenticeship as Ship Operation and Technical Assistant

This course of studies covers a two years’ education at a technical school including first stages of practical experience on board. Afterwards you will complete a seafaring traineeship, which will be 12 months for mariners and 18 months for technicians, depending on your specialization. This apprenticeship will lay the foundation for a further career in the shipping industry – having passed the final examination successfully you will have the opportunity to study at a technical college.

Students and Officer Assistants in technical and nautical fields

As a member of the Bremer Rhederverein the Harren & Partner Group supports the education of young seafarers with a five year foundation professorship of the Academy Bremen (Hochschule Bremen) in the field of nautics.

Furthermore, we support the navigation school Leer and offer internships to seafaring students for practical training on board of our vessels, because the education as technical and nautical officers’ assistant (TOA/NOA) as well as the courses of study in these fields require practical experiences at sea. At all times, over 80 trainees are on board our vessels and benefit from the knowledge passed on by our experienced seafarers.
