As part of its ongoing strategy to strengthen its presence in Asia, DESE Crew Management has been actively expanding its regional network. After establishing branches in Myanmar in 2016 and Indonesia in 2018, the company recently extended its reach by setting up a new office in Sri Lanka earlier this year. Building on this momentum, DESE has now launched operations in Vietnam, marking a significant step in the company’s growth across the region.
The new setup in Vietnam aims to recruit and manage highly skilled Vietnamese seafarers, offering them employment opportunities on Turkish and European fleets. DESE Crew Management's expansion into Vietnam is a strategic move to tap into the country's growing pool of maritime talent, providing a gateway for Vietnamese seafarers to work on international vessels. This initiative aligns with DESE’s goal of diversifying its crew pool and meeting the staffing demands of shipowners who require qualified personnel for a wide range of vessel types, including bulk carriers, tankers, and container ships.
With the addition of the Vietnam branch, DESE enhances its capability to supply experienced seafarers to global shipping companies, thereby reinforcing its position as a leading provider of crew management services. The company's presence in multiple Asian countries allows it to offer a diverse range of seafaring talent to meet the specific needs of Turkish and European fleets. The Vietnam office will play a key role in recruiting, training, and deploying seafarers, ensuring they are well-prepared to meet international standards and adapt to the demands of global shipping operations.
DESE's expansion into Sri Lanka and Vietnam underscores the company’s commitment to investing in new markets and exploring untapped potential within the maritime sector. By integrating Vietnamese seafarers into its crewing network, DESE aims to support the growth of local maritime communities while providing quality crewing solutions to its global clientele. This strategic growth initiative not only strengthens DESE's footprint in Asia but also enhances its ability to deliver high-quality crew management services on a global scale.
As the maritime industry continues to evolve, DESE Crew Management remains dedicated to expanding its network, enhancing crew diversity, and delivering reliable staffing solutions to its partners worldwide. The addition of the Vietnam office marks a new chapter in the company's journey toward becoming a truly global crewing provider.
