In order to provide qualified seafarers, Columbia Shipmanagement maintains its own crewing offices in more than 14 locations and multiple countries across the globe. By sharing the same cultural background with our seafarers at local offices, we benefit from high retention rates amongst our loyal crewing pool. Additional professional crewing agents contribute to providing the best recruitment and crew management service available in the market.

Seafarers play a vital role in operating our fleet and we place great emphasis on their development. We recognise the importance of educating our seafarers and in addition to mandatory training, have also developed client and company specific crew training programmes.
Columbia Shipmanagement ensures that seafarers have access to facilities offering a wide range of simulators including Main Engine Type, Crane Handling and Bridge Team Management/Ship Handling courses. Our training facilities are based in Germany (NSB Academy Hamburg) as well as other partnering centres in key locations round the world.
