Abstract: The main factor in seafarer management is the human factor. Seafarer management represents HR management as it has characteristics specific to maritime transport. It is a very difficult domain especially when we are talking about crewing, due to specific working conditions, environment, certification requirements, national (Naval Authority) and international (IMO) certification, due to various types of ships and navigation areas. One of the institutions that highly influence management of human relations on board ship is represented by the Navigation Company. It is essential whether the company has a well-known name on maritime transport market, whether it is regarded as a reliable company, level of wages adopted and type of operated vessels. A company famous for its professionalism and for the activity developed in good conditions has a management that motivates seafarers through various methods: good contracts, refund or pay for all courses and certifications, professional working conditions, a wage system that influence stability. Each navigation company strives to evolve in order to have a leading place on seafarers’ market and thus to facilitate the personnel management process
