Priority Crew Vetting Program for superyacht and commercial vessel operators. Comprehensive personnel compliance screening that goes beyond credential verification to assess regulatory compliance, background integrity, and operational suitability — because the people aboard your vessel are your most significant compliance variable.
Crew represent the intersection of MLC compliance, flag state certification requirements, immigration regulations, and — increasingly — AML/CTF obligations. A master or chief officer who is competent operationally but non-compliant from a regulatory perspective creates liability that flows directly to the owner. Priority CVP provides structured personnel vetting that addresses the full regulatory spectrum, not just the certificate file.
Authentication of certificates of competency, STCW qualifications, flag state endorsements, and specialist certifications. Verification extends beyond document review to confirmation with issuing authorities where risk indicators warrant.
Comprehensive background assessment covering employment history, sanctions screening, adverse media analysis, and regulatory action checks. Calibrated to the sensitivity of the position and the principal's risk profile.
Evaluation of each crew member's compliance status against MLC requirements, flag state manning regulations, visa and work permit obligations, and medical fitness standards. Identifies gaps before they become port state detention risks.
Priority CVP engagements are available per person or as a programme covering your entire crew complement. The depth of investigation is scaled to the role — a master requires different scrutiny than a deckhand, and the process reflects that.
