PRESS RELEASE
Stargate Crewing is happy to welcome Seaspan Corporation, a Vancouver, Canada, based owner and operator of container vessels as its newest partner for recruiting Romanian seafaring officers and officer cadets for its fleet.
Seaspan is a global leader in independent containership management and provides many of the world’s major shipping lines with alternatives to vessel ownership by offering long-term leases on large, modern containerships combined with industry-leading ship management services.
According to a Seaspan announcement on Facebook, the company is increasing its manning commitment in Romania and expanding its cadet programme to include Romanian candidates. Induction for Seaspan’s cadet programme is currently under way.
Commenting on the occasion, Stargate Crewing general manager Ionut Rusu emphasized that Seaspan is a definite feather’s in Romania’s cap because the partnership with Stargate would bring considerable opportunities for Romania’s seafaring pool to excel on international waters.
It will also help build a dedicated corps of Romanian navigators, engineers and electro-technical officers in Seaspan, and bring much-needed cadet openings for hundreds of Romanian marine college graduates who benefit from some of the best maritime education in Europe today, Rusu added.
