Important Warning
Anti-Fraud Warning
Maritime recruitment fraud is a serious and widespread problem. Protect yourself by learning how to identify and report fraudulent activities.
We never charge seafarers any fee for recruitment or placement.
If anyone claiming to represent our company asks you for money, it is a SCAM. Please report it immediately to grievance@skengineering-maritime.com or the relevant maritime authority.
