When you think of adventure, you think of Redwise. Since 1906, Redwise has been one of the most versatile maritime employers. We specialize in a unique field: Ship Delivery. This involves transporting all types of ships worldwide from A to B for our clients. This could be from the shipyard to the shipping company, between two locations of the client, or from the seller to the buyer. In addition to Ship Delivery, we have expanded our services over the years to include crew management and North Sea pilots. With crew management, we deploy seafarers, sailing on behalf of our clients for both short- and long-term assignments. Moreover, we operate our own research vessel, the ARCTIC. Thanks to this diversity of services, we can offer a very flexible approach towards our team of seafarers and provide the role you are looking for.

At this moment, we are looking for you to strengthen #TEAMREDWISE as a Chief Officer. With Redwise, no two voyages are the same. You will sail on ships of the most diverse types. Ships can be new, old, large, small, and quite extraordinary. You will also visit exceptional destinations and bunker ports. Your qualities as a Chief Officer are grounded in good seamanship, knowledge, and commitment.
