MARINER ENTERPRISES LTD.

Mariner Shipping Services, Ltd. was original formed in Thailand in the year 1978, with a view to provide general shipping agency services at the port of Bangkok.  At the same time, a separate pioneering activity as ships crew manning services to provide qualified and experienced Myanmar seamen to foreign ship owners also commenced, taking opportunity of the Management’s strong links with Myanmar sea-faring resources.

Since then, this activity has gradually expanded and the Company has become one of the leading Myanmar crew sources as “Myanmar ships crew specialist “. Mariner’s main clients and the Principals are MACS Maritime Shipping GmbH & Co. of Hamburg, Choosan Shipping Co., Ltd., of Singapore, Pronav Schiffahrtsberatung GmbH & Co., Kg, Hamburg and Universal Ship Management Pte., Ltd., (Ex-New Century Cruise Lines) of Singapore.

As a result of recent improved communications and financial facilities in the Union of Myanmar it is no longer considered necessary to operate the manning activities mainly from Bangkok, Thailand.  A Myanmar registered company, known as Mariner Enterprises, Ltd., Yangon, Myanmar was therefore formed in 1997 to operate the Company directly from Myanmar with a branch office at Bangkok, Thailand.

Today, “MARINER” provides Masters, Chief Engineers, Officers and crew for twelve ships, consisting of Container vessels and semi-container vessels fully manned and have also previously manned, car carriers and reefer vessels, totaling nearly 220,000 gross tons, as well as a few partially manned ships and some hotel service and catering ratings for cruise ships. Presently, over three hundred seagoing personnel are employed at sea under Company’s management and reserve pools of over 400 trained and experienced seamen, who are registered with the Seamen Employment Control Division, (S.E.C.D.) of the Department of Marine Administration, is maintained in Myanmar and are employed at sea in rotation.

“MARINER” has always preferred to supply crew only to well established Ship Owners who require first class crew for their modern and sophisticated vessels not only because it sees as a challenge and an opportunity for their Myanmar seamen to upgrade their professional shipping experience further, but also it believes that in the long run, their more experienced and better trained seamen would remain employed consistently with reputable Ship Owners, and enjoy better terms of employment than what can be offered by the average Owner who may be looking for cheaper crewing sources.
