About us
At Polstrom, we deliver practical workforce and vessel management solutions tailored to the maritime industry. Our role is simple: dependable crew for operators, compliant vessels, and sustainable careers.
A Full-Service Approach
We manage the operational lifecycle around maritime personnel and vessel readiness, offering recruitment, screening, mobilisation, payroll, compliance, vessel management and demobilisation. By handling the details, we reduce downtime, cut administrative burden, and keep offshore operations running smoothly.
Investing in Seafarers
We believe in people, not just positions. Polstrom supports seafarers with certification guidance, training coordination, and career planning. This creates motivated professionals who deliver more value on board while achieving their own long-term goals.
Trusted, Compliant, Ready to Mobilise
Downtime is costly. That’s why every seafarer we place is fully certified, operationally fit, and ready to mobilise - and why every vessel management process we support is focused on compliance, maintenance, and operational readiness. Operators gain assurance across both crew and vessel requirements, reducing the risk of last-minute shortages, compliance gaps, and avoidable disruption.
Why Polstrom?
Reliable: A trusted partner supplying pre-vetted and vessel readiness.
Efficient: Streamlined mobilisation and administration that reduces delays.
Compliant: Crew, documentation, and vessel management processes are maintained to relevant industry standards and regulations.
People-First: We invest in seafarers’ careers, not just their next contract.

We provide access to a pool of skilled crew across all ranks and disciplines. Every candidate is rigorously vetted through references, qualifications, and medical checks, ensuring you receive reliable professionals who can step onboard and perform immediately.
Mobilisation and Workforce Logistics
We coordinate every stage of mobilisation and demobilisation — travel, visas, medicals, and inductions included. Our approach ensures smooth crew changes, minimal downtime, and uninterrupted project delivery.
Compliance and Certification
We actively manage crew certifications, renewals, and regulatory requirements. With Polstrom, you avoid last-minute compliance risks and gain confidence that every placement is fully certified and operationally fit.
Training and Development Support
We coordinate upskilling opportunities so your workforce stays current with industry standards. For operators, this means fewer disruptions, higher safety standards, and crews who grow with your operational needs.
Payroll and Administration
We take care of payroll, tax, insurance, and contracts. Crew are paid on time, and you receive transparent, accurate invoicing, reducing your admin burden and ensuring financial clarity.
Vessel Management
Polstrom manages the day-to-day compliance, maintenance, and operational readiness of your vessels, ensuring checks, documentation, defects, and scheduled servicing to remain current. With Polstrom, operators gain confidence that their vessel is safe, compliant, and ready to perform when required.
