About us
Delivering world-class seafarers to world-class companies
Grieg Philippines are the sole provider of highly skilled and experienced Filipino seafarers to Grieg Star’s Open Hatch deep-sea vessels.
Grieg Star employed its first Filipino seafarer in 1982, and more than 40 years later, it still enjoys the professionalism and competence of its all-Filipino crews.
Founded in 2009, Grieg Philippines is Grieg Star's trusted partner, delivering crew management services to support its global shipping operations. All Grieg Star ships sail in the G2 Ocean commercial pool.
As part of the Grieg Group, we are committed to social responsibility and sustainability. We strive to impact the communities where we operate and the environment positively. In preparation for the future, we source our cadets from the Norwegian Shipowners’ Association’s (NSA) Philippines Cadet Program.
We take pride in our track record of excellence and our commitment to continuously improving our services. Our dedication is to support Grieg Star’s mission of delivering high-quality cargo transportation services worldwide while promoting our seafarers’ professional and personal development.
