ORCA Crew Services – Strategic Presence in Croatia

ORCA Crew Services B.V. maintains two fully operational offices in the Republic of Croatia, located in the country’s principal maritime centres: Rijeka and Split. These offices serve as regional hubs for recruitment, crew management, and comprehensive payroll administration, enabling seamless integration of Croatian seafaring professionals into vessels operating worldwide.

Strategically positioned at the crossroads of the Adriatic Sea and Central Europe, Croatia boasts a 1,700-kilometre coastline and direct access to the Danube basin. This unique geographic location has nurtured an unbroken maritime tradition spanning more than two millennia and sustains an active seafarer population of approximately 20,000–25,000 highly qualified officers and ratings.

Croatian officers and crew members are particularly sought after in technically demanding sectors such as dredging, offshore construction, heavy-lift operations, and wind-farm installation support – segments in which the Dutch maritime cluster holds global leadership.

Through its offices in Rijeka and Split, ORCA Crew Services offers shipowners the following key advantages:

- Local recruitment and pre-selection conducted by experienced Croatian maritime professionals
- Full Croatian payroll administration combined with A1 social-security certificate issuance and full compliance with the EU Posted Workers Directive
- Rapid mobilisation and demobilisation supported by long-established relationships with flag-state authorities, port agents, and training institutions
- Direct access to a deep pool of certified, multilingual seafarers with proven track records in complex dredging and offshore projects
