Our experience includes fourteen years as a manning agent for Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL), working with crew selection and management procedures under the company’s professional standards.
A Maritime Partner with a History
In an industry where reliability depends on people, experience matters.
Since 1996, ATIS has supported the recruitment and placement of maritime professionals across different vessel types. Our work combines knowledge of shipowners’ operational requirements with an understanding of seafarers’ qualifications, career ambitions, and professional responsibilities.
As an independent crewing company, we value direct communication, continuity, and individual attention.
Our approach has been shaped by decades of maritime experience, including our longstanding cooperation with one of Japan’s major shipping groups, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines.
