1. Fleet Expansion & Workforce Architecture
We design the crew operating systems required to scale safely and profitably.
- Ship & shore HR organisation structures
- Role design and span-of-control alignment
- Ship-shore accountability mapping
- Workforce lifecycle architecture
- Structural readiness audits before fleet growth
Growth amplifies weak design. We fix it before it embeds.
2. Recruitment & Manning Governance
Without governance, standards fragment and cost drifts.
We help operators align:
- Multi agency oversight frameworks
- Hiring partner performance metrics
- Recruitment workflow standardisation
- EVP clarity and market positioning
- Deployment forecasting and planning discipline
Recruitment volume without governance is expensive.
3. Workforce Cost and Retention Strategy
Attrition is common in the cruise industry. It is not neutral.
We help operators:
- Calculate true replacement cost
- Analyse attrition
- Identify leadership-driven churn
- Design retention stabilisation strategies
- Align pay philosophy and benchmarking
- Reduce reactive pay decisions and inequity
Crew stability protects margin.
4. Compliance & MLC Governance Architecture
Compliance exposure increases with fleet growth.
We provide:
- MLC governance design
- Inspection readiness frameworks
- Ship-shore compliance accountability mapping
- Seafarer agreement structuring
- Agency compliance oversight
- Reflagging and new launch support
Compliance should be governed - not delegated blindly.
