Viking Crew announces a partnership with newly launched CrewPass. CrewPass is a new set of services carefully designed to improve the safety and security of the maritime industry through enhanced background and certification checks.
The recently launched start-up has selected First Advantage – a leading global provider of technology solutions for screening, verifications, safety and compliance related to human capital – as their service provider to provide background screening and identity checks. CrewPass have integrated First Advantage’s leading technology platform to fulfil global vetting checks. It has already signed agreements with some of the leading crew agencies such as Viking Crew and Bespoke Crew, who are supporting this accreditation as an industry standard.
CrewPass services include background checks, criminal record checks, ID verification checks and soon to be launched automated Certificate of Competence checks through the MCA. A simple sign up process by the individual crew member allows CrewPass to verify their identity and to conduct enhanced global criminal background checks, helping vessels, crew agencies and management companies ensure that only fully vetted individuals are allowed on board.
The CrewPass software application hosts a variety of impressive, enhanced features that include a digitalised watch rota and encrypted inter-crew vessel chats. In addition, a real-time crew list displays persons on/off board using intelligent beacons. Tapping in and out of the vessel updates status and collates working hours.
Signing up with CrewPass gives an identification badge which serves as a digital passport confirming that crew members are fully vetted by the company. This will provide the advantage to crew members applying for jobs earning confidence and trust of employers by proving they have a clean and verifiable record with the CrewPass Accreditation.
Once onboard the new app and website allows vessels to improve their daily operations, ensuring the safety and security of everyone on board, by enabling them to check, communicate, and monitor the daily operations of crew members.
