THE MISSION
Seafair, a Scale Up Batch 4 member, helps shipping companies find and hire seafarers more easily and efficiently. Normally, managing all the paperwork, schedules, and recruitment for seafarers is complicated and takes a lot of time. Seafair uses technology to simplify this process, making it faster and less stressful for shipping companies to fill crew positions.
For example, instead of sorting through piles of resumes or dealing with scattered data, shipping companies can use Seafair’s platform to quickly find qualified workers who match their needs. At the same time, Seafair helps seafarers connect to better job opportunities by giving them access to more shipping companies through the platform. It’s like a smart matchmaking system for the shipping industry, making things easier on both sides and ensuring ships have the right crew at the right time. At the same time, apart from connecting shipping companies with qualified maritime crew, Seafair's platform simplifies crew management and logistics by providing tools for tracking contracts, compliance, and payroll, optimizing the entire hiring and management process.
Seafair has partnered with Chandris Hellas & Century Bulk Carriers to implement its digital crewing software across the group’s 20+ vessel operations. With a total of $7 million raised from investors like SV Angel and General Catalyst, Seafair is well-positioned to further digitize and support global crewing operations.
