How we select and train our crew

Crew manning

Our manning policy is to protect people, property and the environment by selecting and training safety-conscious seafarers.

Selection follows the STCW Convention, MLC 2006 and the ISM Code, with a long-term approach to human resources. Every crew member joins with the training and qualifications the position requires.

Crew training

We believe a strong training programme is the key to lasting success. Training includes video and computer-based courses on our training platform.

Officers take an online assessment during recruitment and complete a training programme before joining. Training needs are reviewed through audits and superintendent reports. We also invest in cadets, the future officers of our fleet.

The name

Miklagard means “the Great City”

Viking sailors who reached Istanbul moored in the Golden Horn. It was the largest city they had ever seen, protected by long walls on land and a chain across the harbour, with the Hippodrome and Hagia Sophia at its heart. They called it Miklagard, the Great City. Today the city is Istanbul, where our company is based.

Objectives and mission

A preventive approach to safety

Quality, health, safety, security and environmental protection come first for our management and employees. Our long-term aim is a culture in which these risks are identified and prevented before they occur.

We work to prevent

  • Accidents and injuries
  • Health-related incidents
  • Marine and atmospheric pollution
  • Oil spills
  • Loss of process capability
  • Lapses in security

What we believe

  • Accidents are caused, so they can be prevented.
  • Prevention costs less than reaction.
  • Everyone is responsible for their own safety and for the safety of others.
  • No business objective outweighs safety.
  • A job is well done only if it is done safely.
