MANNING
SERVICES
Filipino crews for international fleets since 1967.
Citadel Shipping has been deploying Filipino seafarers to foreign-flag vessels since 1967, when our first crew boarded the Greek tanker M/T Cassandra of P. D. Marchesini & Co. The manning operation has continued without interruption since then.
Today, we provide crews for reefer, general cargo, and container vessels, serving Japanese principals including Seiwa Seaborne and Princess Lines, as well as other international shipowners and ship managers.
Carefully Selected Crews
Long-term Retention
We recruit for technical competence, English communication, and operational discipline.
Many of our seafarers remain with the same principals across multiple contracts, supporting operational continuity onboard.
Why Shipowners Work With Us
Standards-based Training
All seafarers meet STCW, flag-state, and relevant international maritime requirements before deployment.
24/7 Operations Support
Crew changes, medical cases, repatriation, and urgent requirements are handled continuously by our operations team.
Vessel Types We Crew
Compliance
Our operations align with requirements of MARINA, POEA, OWWA, and DOH in the Philippines, and comply with STCW Convention and applicable flag-state regulations internationally.
