Skilled labour questions

Open a line to read the answer.

Sacramento Marine Services supplies certified electricians, 6G, TIG and MIG welders, structural fitters and skilled or general helpers. The scope is described on its international labour supply page, and you can use the crew builder here to draft your headcount.

Sacramento Marine Services quotes an onboarding timeline of 14 to 30 days, supported by a 24/7 operations desk. The exact date depends on the trades, documents and destination, so share your brief through the Sacramento Marine Services contact page for a confirmed plan.

Crew and labour go through credential, reference and medical vetting under the Sacramento Marine Services process, aligned with STCW and MLC 2006 where they apply. The crew management service describes the full manning, welfare, travel and payroll approach.

Yes. A single enquiry can include welders, electricians, fitters and helpers together, which is how most repair and yard jobs are staffed. Use the crew builder on this page to set the mix, then send it to the team or read more about the full services list.

Sacramento Marine Services works on BIMCO SHIPMAN based contracts and holds ISO 9001:2015 certification, with MLC 2006 compliance for seafarer welfare. Ask the operations team about the commercial terms for your job through its main website or by calling the number on this site.

Sacramento Marine Services delivers its services from India. Labour, ship management and crew services come from our crew management and labour desk, training from our training desk and careers guidance from our careers desk, and this site routes you to each.

03 · Welding

Welding questions

Open a line to read the answer.

6G refers to welding a pipe that is fixed at roughly 45 degrees so the welder must work through every position around it. Sacramento Marine Services lists 6G welders among its supplied trades on the labour supply page, and you can state the pipe details when you enquire.

TIG gives fine control with a separate filler rod, so it is often chosen for thin material, root runs and stainless steel, while MIG feeds wire continuously and suits faster work on plate. Tell the team your material and thickness through the Sacramento Marine Services contact page so the right welders are proposed.

Yes, welders and structural fitters can be requested for fabrication and steel work as well as repair jobs. Describe the task, materials and location in your enquiry, and the operations desk at Sacramento Marine Services will advise on a suitable crew and timeline.

Share the process or position needed (6G, TIG or MIG), the material and thickness, whether it is hot work in a confined space, the location and your start date. The more detail you give the operations team, the faster it can confirm a squad.

Safe working is part of the brief for every marine welder, and crews can also take safety courses from our training desk, such as Enclosed Space Entry. See the featured courses page for what is currently listed.

Short jobs can be raised in the same way as longer ones, by sending the scope, location and dates. The team will confirm whether a single welder or a small squad fits, and you can start with the labour supply enquiry route.

04 · Squads

Riding squad questions

Open a line to read the answer.

A riding repair squad is a team of certified tradespeople who join a vessel to carry out repairs while it is at anchor or on passage. Sacramento Marine Services lists riding repair squads among its services on its services page, and this site helps you scope one.

Yes, squads are arranged to board at anchor or en route, depending on the port call, access and permissions. Share the vessel position and schedule through the Sacramento Marine Services contact page so the operations desk can plan travel and boarding.

Squads are drawn from welders, electricians, structural fitters and helpers, in a mix that matches the repair list. The scoping slider on this page gives a starting sketch only, and the labour supply team confirms the real composition.

A squad suits repairs that can be done afloat without docking, which avoids waiting for a yard slot. Anything requiring the hull out of the water still needs dry-dock, which Sacramento Marine Services also supports through its technical management service.

Prepare the repair list, access and permit arrangements, spares and consumables, and accommodation for the squad. The checklist on the safety page helps, and the operations desk will confirm anything specific to your vessel and voyage.

The master remains in charge of the vessel, and the squad works to the agreed repair scope and the vessel safety system. Reporting arrangements are agreed in advance with Sacramento Marine Services, which also provides a 24/7 operations desk for support.

05 · Dry-dock

Dry-dock and yard questions

Open a line to read the answer.

Support covers dry-dock superintendence plus skilled labour for hull, piping, electrical and machinery work during the docking. Sacramento Marine Services describes drydocking within its technical ship management service, and this site helps you list the job areas.

Yes, welders, fitters, electricians and helpers can be supplied to support a yard or a superintendent already appointed. Describe the yard, scope and dates through the Sacramento Marine Services contact page and the team will advise on a crew.

It is an independent technical audit of a vessel before you buy it, so you understand its condition and likely repair needs. Sacramento Marine Services offers pre-purchase audits as listed on its services page, which pairs naturally with dock planning.

Class and Flag State liaison is part of technical ship management, helping a docking meet survey and compliance requirements. Read how this is handled on the technical management page and tell the team early about any surveys due.

Group the work by area, such as hull and steel, piping, electrical, machinery and access, then note any survey items. The job board on this page does exactly that, and you can send the result to the operations team for planning.

Sacramento Marine Services also offers spares and marine procurement alongside its technical and labour services, which helps a docking run to schedule. Ask about your list through the services page or by calling the number shown on this site.

06 · Safety

Safety and careers questions

Our training desk offers 200+ maritime courses with a practical approach to training. You can read more about the training approach and contact our training desk through its own contact page for admissions.

Yes. Skilled tradespeople can be supplied through Sacramento Marine Services, and those starting out can use our careers desk for Merchant Navy routes. The seafarer career programs page lists IMU-CET coaching, DNS, BSc Nautical Science, GME, BTech Marine and rating courses.

IMU-CET coaching is offered by our careers desk, with practice papers and mock analysis, as part of its Merchant Navy career services. Details and enrolment sit on the seafarer career programs page, and its team can be reached through its contact page.

It is a simple self-check of the items a crew or tradesperson should have ready before joining a vessel or yard, such as documents, medical and training. It is guidance, not certification, and the crew management service confirms what applies.

Group enquiries are welcome. Tell our training desk the disciplines, ranks and number of people, and it will advise on courses and dates through its contact page, or call the number on this site and we will route you.
