Leading the way For 60 Years
For over six decades, ASP has supported shipowners with trusted crew management services, combining global reach with practical, client-focused maritime solutions.
How we guide excellence
ASP’s crew network spans key maritime regions, giving shipowners access to diverse, skilled and cost effective seafarers. Our regional offices and training centres help match the right talent to the right vessel while supporting welfare, mobilisation and compliance locally.
ASP provides experienced crew management support across recruitment, selection, training, certification, payroll, welfare, claims, rehabilitation and travel. Our role is to give shipowners confidence that crews are qualified, supported and ready to operate safely.
Safety starts with capable, confident and well supported crews. ASP reinforces safe working through rigorous selection, onboard training, toolbox meetings, job safety analysis, emergency response drills and a culture where people are empowered to act before risks become incidents.
ASP leads in marine safety ensuring compliance with global safety and environmental regulations.
Our safety record:
0 fatalities
0 oil spills
0 PSC detentions
The future of crewing depends on stronger talent pipelines, better training, improved welfare and more flexible workforce planning. ASP supports shipowners with skilled seafarers, structured career development and crew solutions shaped around changing vessel, compliance and market needs.
At ASP, crew management brings people, training, welfare, compliance and operational support into one connected service. We help shipowners source, prepare and support the right seafarers for each vessel, backed by regional teams who understand the needs of crews and clients.
