Salty Crew Reserve

Salty Crew Reserve is a private pool of qualified Australian commercial mariners available to vessel operators when crew shortages happen.

What is Salty Crew Reserve?

Operational Backup for Crew-Critical Roles.

Crew issues don’t announce themselves.

Illness, travel disruptions, failed medicals, missed flights – one missing crew member can delay sailings, disrupt schedules, or shut down operations entirely.

Salty Crew Reserve exists to reduce that risk.

We maintain a private database of qualified, credential-verified commercial mariners who are contactable and ready to step in when operators need cover fast.

This is not a public job board, and we don’t publish crew details online.

When you need someone, you contact us, and we activate the reserve.
