C.S.A manages crew changes for vessels while they are anchored within port limits or during cargo operations, repairs, or idle periods.

Our services include arranging hotel accommodations for on- and off-signing crew members, as well as hospitalization if necessary. We also handle the issuance of short-term Schengen visas for crew members disembarking without a valid visa. Our formal procedure is followed when we are instructed to carry out a crew change on behalf of the owners.

​
