Shipping is one of the rare global business sectors. Globalisation is not only for entity and entrepreneurs but also manpower in the shipping sectors. There is a huge traffic in seaman exchange in shipping sector. Entrepreneurs, ship managers, and seafarers can be different nationalities individually. Sometimes, ship managers transfers all responsibilities to crew management companies their crewing jobs. In such cases, crew supply is done via crewing intermediary companies. A number of course and certificates are essential to be a sea man. All seamen are obliged to take some courses in their ranks. This educational courses are renewed with a long life principle periodically. Turkey is issuing internationally valid seamen books and certificates. However there is no any legal problem to work in any international market for our sea farers. There are laws regulating private employment agencies, crew agencies are not listed in this field. Third party ship management is new and not well known sector in our country. Therefore there is no any ship management company that is not including employment activities. Establishment of well organised and private employment companies in turkey will satisfy global sea farer demand and will supply more employment to Turkish sea men. Irregular labour market will go in line in case of forming private crew management companies. It will help Turkish sea men to employ in international shipping groups more than present number and moreover it will help solving unemployment problems. In this study, the employment of seafarers in Turkey has been set forth by numbers and it has been determined that the most important reason why our country is not successful in this matter is labour market irregularities and inappropriate crew resources company. In the maritime sector, there is a need for a professional and private employment agencies with a global scale, able to respond to market needs. By means of the employment agencies with such qualifications, we will be able to easily employ our officer and crew class seafarers.
