Overview

Company Profile

In 2007 Transnational Diversified Group (TDG) and Aage Thoen Ltd. AS of Norway launched– the OceanCrew Marine Services Inc. (OCMS).

By June 2008, OCMS was accredited by the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) to recruit and deploy seafarers.

Although OceanCrew Marine Services (OCMS) is still a neophyte in the industry, it works synergistically with other Member Companies (Mcs) of TDG for various services such as medical management, flight booking and arrangements; legal services, corporate planning, procurement, etc.

OCMS is initially aimed to supply the European Offshore market with dedicated and competent workers. After several months in operation, OCMS found the opportunity in providing manpower not only for offshore vessels but for other types of vessels such as pure car carriers, reefers and passenger ships.

OCMS caters to operators and owners who wish to create shipboard teams for their vessels. OCMS supplies oceangoing crew, i.e. navigation officers & ratings, offshore personnel, rig workers, cruise and spa personnel, etc., who can provide effective preventive maintenance of machineries and equipment, conduct safe navigation, strictly comply to the safety systems and implements policies and guidelines of the owners.

OCMS, a joint venture between Aage Thoen Ltd AS (ATC) and Transnational Diversified Group (TDG), is founded as a new generation of marine service provider.

ATC activities range from shipowning to marine and financial services in partnership with Credit Suisse as well as international investments and finance.

OCMS adheres to a “NO TRAINING, NO DEPLOYMENT” policy. This means that a crew can only join a ship after undergoing training on the mandatory requirements of the Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) ‘ 95 as well as trainings prescribed by the Principals.

Cadetship Training Program (CTP)

OCMS may embark on a Cadetship Training Program (CTP) with the consent of its Principal to develop its own pool of officers. This is a strategy to address the future shortage of officers which is considered a major concern in the the maritime industry.

The program is open to new graduates of BSMT (Bachelor of Science in Marine Transportation) and BSME (Bachelor of Science in Marine Engineering) from any of the CHED-accredited maritime school. Before being accepted in the program, applicants are required to pass the Qualifying Examination, Medical and Neuro-Psychological test and oral interview.

The main objective of the CTP is to develop potential officers in the pool. Crew who are under the program can be considered as “HOME GROWN” as they will be educated/trained based on the Principal’s qualification and standard.

Since the CTP is a tool for OCMS to develop future officers, OCMS will encourage all the cadets to take the board examinations after 12-month sea service.

Career Pathing

OCMS will monitor the career path of its Junior Officers in order to prepare them for their next/higher position.

OCMS will support its officers to get promoted by providing study sessions and reading materials that would further enhance their knowledge and management skills.
