✦ You're on the list. Welcome to Seafolk.
The problem
When a Filipino engineer wants to transition to LNG — where does he go? When a Ukrainian officer faces an illegal contract clause — who does he ask? When a Greek Chief wants to know which company actually treats its crew well — who tells him the truth?
Nobody. Until Seafolk.
"I've been on bulk carriers for 9 years. I want to move to LNG. I've asked everywhere and nobody gives me a real answer."
"My company changed my contract terms after I boarded. I didn't know if that was legal or not. I had no one to ask."
"LinkedIn is for showing off. WhatsApp groups disappear. There is no real place for us to talk honestly."
