Offshore wind crew recruitment for vessels and wind farm teams
Hire crews for crew transfer vessels, service operation vessels and wind farm operations, with GWO and maritime certificates checked before anyone mobilises.
Offshore wind hiring is growing faster than the paperwork
Two sets of certificates
Vessel crew need STCW certificates, and many roles also need GWO Basic Safety Training. Checking both by hand slows every hire.
Short notice, tight weather windows
When a technician transfer depends on the weather, a missing crew member costs a working day on the wind farm.
Candidates from other industries
Many good candidates come from oil and gas or shipping and lack wind-specific training. You need to see the gap early.

Certificates often required in offshore wind
Requirements depend on the operator, the vessel and the role. Common examples:
| Category | Covers | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| GWO Basic Safety Training | First Aid, Manual Handling, Fire Awareness, Working at Heights, Sea Survival | Refresher every 2 years |
| STCW Basic Safety | VI/1 for vessel crew | Refresher every 5 years |
| Certificate of Competency | Master and engineer certificates for CTV and SOV crew | Flag-state endorsement |
| Medical | Seafarer medical and offshore wind medical where required | Typically up to 2 years |
| DP certificates | For SOVs operating on DP | DP Induction to Unlimited |
Crew for the next generation of offshore energy
Offshore wind needs crews that combine maritime competence with wind farm requirements. A CTV master needs a valid certificate of competency and sea time on similar vessels. Technicians and SOV crew often need GWO Basic Safety Training on top.
Marvatis puts both on the same profile and checks them against each position. Combined with self-updated availability, it helps you staff hitch rotations without the last-minute scramble.
Built by people from the industry. Marvatis is founded by Edgar Eidsheim, Master Mariner, former Chief Officer and senior DP Operator, together with Asgeir Sognefest, MSc in informatics specialising in AI.
