Important warning

Beware of active scammers impersonating ORCA Crew Services! 

Fraudsters are contacting candidates and falsely claiming to represent our company. They often demand advance payments to cover the cost of a medical certificate (or similar documents) before joining/embarking on vessels.

ORCA Crew Services NEVER requests any money or advance payments from candidates - whether for medical certificates, processing fees, applications, visas, travel, or any other purpose.

All legitimate recruitment and job offers are handled exclusively through our official channels.

If you receive any suspicious message or request for payment, please do not respond or send money. Instead, report it immediately to us at crewing@orca-crew.com and verify directly via our official website: www.orca-crew.com or job portal: orca-crew.lt

Stay safe and vigilant!
