The Singapore-headquartered shipmanagement group is joining a growing number of managers looking to source seafarers from Myanmar and is also eyeing the potential further down the road to offer a full range shipmanagement services.
Thome Myanmar has already received manning agency and MLC licenses and has 30 cadets already on its books.
“Establishing a strong manning operation in Myanmar underlines the Thome Group’s commitment to this fast-moving and highly important seafarer recruitment market,” said Olav Eek Thorstensen, chairman of Thome Group.
“The oil and gas sectors are also very important in this part of the world and the opening up of an office here places the Thome Group in a good position to service the future needs of this and other growth areas.”
