At SMI, we believe in our crew. We’ve seen their dedication, their commitment, and the heart they bring to every voyage. That’s why we started the Ratings and Officers Homegrown Program—because we know that with the right support and guidance, our own seafarers can rise to the top.
This program is our way of investing in people who’ve chosen to grow with us. We don’t just recruit talent—we build it. Through hands-on training, mentorship from experienced officers, and real opportunities for advancement, we’re preparing our seafarers to take on leadership roles like Master and Chief Engineer.
If you’re a seafarer, this is your path to a long-term, fulfilling career at sea. If you’re one of our principals or partners, this is our promise to deliver crew who are not only well-trained, but loyal, motivated, and aligned with your standards.
Those who join the program commit to serving onboard SMI-manned vessels as they grow. In return, we commit to supporting their journey every step of the way—with training, resources, and genuine care.
We believe in the power of growing together. And with the right people and the right mindset, we know we can achieve great things—together.
