3rd Issue
In the previous issue we began to introduce
the Crew Operations Section
of the Crew Department. In this issue we
will continue by introducing further sections
of the department in the Cyprus office,

and the Travel section.
Crew Accounts Section
The crew accounts section is an integral
part of the crew department and operates
in close cooperation with the crew operations.
The crew accounts section is divided into
three functions:

ances are paid to the seafarers’ bank accounts.
They keep control and inform all
relevant parties of any balances in the accounts
(i.e : crew member, manning
agents and crew superintendent as
applicable).
Allotments
For the seafarers who are at sea, one of
the most important matters for them is to
have the confidence that their wages are
paid well in time and that allotment instructions
regarding their salaries are carried
out without any delays. It is of
utmost importance for them to know that
their families are receiving the money and
therefore not experiencing any financial
problems. These are the important tasks
of this section.
Cash to Master
Crew accounts section is also responsible
for checking and controlling cash to
Master requests. They also handle various
payments to port agents or clients
concerning expenses incurred by the ship
which are paid by the Master, as well as
follow-up procedures for the payment
instructions through banks.
