Yachting Services: Crew Employment & Management
In the previous edition of the Bachmann group blog, we introduced our yachting services that relate to the ownership and registration of vessels. After you've completed these crucial steps, the next thing that is likely to be on your mind is hiring crew. After all, a yacht's performance can only be as good as those that facilitate its sailing!
Bachmann Group is recognised as being one of Europe's largest and longest-established providers of offshore employment solutions. Since the Bachmann Yachts arm of our company was formed, bringing our expertise in the commercial shipping sector to the global yachting community, we have grown to be responsible for the employment and management of many thousands of seafarers.
We can help you to recruit the very best crew members, all of whom are thoroughly vetted to ensure that they can operate a yacht according to the rigid requirements of the International Safety Management and Security Codes. We'll be looking in more detail at our comprehensive crew recruitment service in an upcoming article so please subscribe to our newsletter to make sure you don't miss out.
In order to provide MLC-compliant employment contracts as well as efficient social security and tax structures, we employ crew through Guernsey, New Zealand and the British Virgin Islands. This means that our employment solutions can be precisely tailored to suit seafarers of all nationalities.
Our yacht crew employment services include the management of various operations, from scheduling crew members and quickly arranging last-minute changes to meeting training requirements and even supplying uniform. We can also look after all medical and welfare needs along with managing things like visa applications, personnel records, promotions and grievance procedures.
The cost of operating a yacht has risen in recent years since the MLC was introduced. Crew members must be granted leave on a regular basis and repatriated when their employment contract ends. We can arrange marine tickets for crew travel at the most competitive rates, which include generous luggage allowances and are flexible so that any cancellations and/or delays do not cause significant problems.
Managing finances is made easy and efficient with an offshore bank account and, in collaboration with our specially-selected partners, we can help you find one that suits your needs. Users will enjoy numerous benefits from safe, no-fee currency transfers with excellent exchange rates to the ability to quickly make and receive payments across international borders.
