At the end of July, we were visited by Mr. Stefan Nitsche – a representative of MST Mineralien Schiffahrt Spedition und Transport GmbH, with which we have been cooperating for 20 years. The main aim of his visit was to interview seafarers in connection with the expansion of the company and the replacement of the pool of sailors on Ukrainians.
About 50 candidates were interviewed during 2 weeks and more than 30 seafarers of officer and ratings were confirmed for work on bulkers panamax type from 2015 YOB.
Next time, Mr. Stefan Nitsche plans to arrive in September to conduct a selection of candidates for work on the company’s ships.
Anyone who want to take part in the interview for further work in a modern and constantly developing company, please forward your application form with a note “for MST” to: crew@univis.uptel.net.
