In recent years, Turkish and European shipowners have shown increased interest in purchasing coaster vessels sold in Asia due to favorable pricing. Typically, these ships undergo refurbishment in Turkish shipyards before commencing operations in the Mediterranean and Black Sea regions.

As part of this trend, DESE Crew Management's Jakarta team has been instrumental in delivering turnkey vessel services. The process involves outfitting the ships with qualified Indonesian or local South Korean seafarers, ensuring they are fully crewed and ready for service upon arrival in Turkey.

The company has achieved considerable success, delivering 17 ships in 2022, predominantly for Turkish owners, and an additional 14 vessels in 2023. These deliveries reflect DESE Crew Management's commitment to providing high-quality crew management solutions and facilitating the growth of the coaster shipping market in the region.
