The European Community Association of Ship Brokers and Agents (ECASBA) is a sub-committee of FONASBA representing European ship brokers and agents, engaging with the European Union on maritime policy and regulatory issues.
I’m the representant of Rhodos ’97 Crewing Agency established in Constanta, Romania since 1994.
At this moment we are trying to develop new business cooperation related with shipping market. As you probably know Romania had a fleet of more than 500 ships with a lot of good qualified seafarers and two big shipyards. At this moment Romanian fleet counts no more than 50 active ships and the shipyards are not so active as they were before.
The reason why I’m writing this facts is that we have a large pool of good qualified seafarers and shipyard personnel without a place of work and we hope that through your company we might find a solution in the way of starting a business cooperation for crew manning services and shipyards personnel supplier.
Hopping to hear from you soon,
I remain yours truly,
Laurentiu Cretu
