Barrow & Trent

Licensed Crew Management

Barrow & Trent places officers and ratings screened to the standard we'd want beside us - rank-specific technical assessment, psychometric screening, and performance measured in clean Port State Control inspections. Quality crew, fewer surprises, a fleet that performs.

Screened, Not Supplied

Rank-specific technical and psychometric screening on every crew member, every rank - so the person who steps aboard is the person we'd vouch for. We send crew we'd sail with, not the first CV that clears paperwork.

How we screen

Your PSC Record

We crew to one outcome: a Port State Control record you never have to think about. Our India operation is RPSL-licensed (RPSL-MUM-162377) and MLC-compliant, with full documentation and reporting.

Grow With You

Once trust is built on crew, we step up to technical management - superintendence, planned maintenance and compliance oversight - for the owners we already serve. One team, accountable end to end.

What we do

Barrow & Trent is a crew management company first. We recruit, screen and manage officers and ratings for quality-conscious owners – and we grow into technical management for the owners we already crew for.

We recruit, screen and deploy officers and ratings, manage joining and documentation, and stand behind every placement - with rank-specific technical and psychometric screening on every crew member. This is what we do.

The next step we take with owners we already crew for - superintendence, maintenance and compliance oversight, once trust is built on crew.

Sailors

Barrow & Trent is run by people who’ve sailed the ships they now crew. Between our directors and shore team we carry decades at sea and in fleet management – the kind of judgement you only earn on watch. When we say we supply crew we’d sail with, we mean it literally: every seafarer we place is screened to the standard we’d want beside us in the engine room and on the bridge.
