Company History

C.M.I. Inc. was established in 1991 and has as major activities:

Manning

Manning vessels with officers and crew from the Philippines.

After a short period of time have extended our manning services with officers and crew from Ukraine and lately to manning services with Chinese officers and crew.

The company was established by Captain Stelios Stylianidis, who has been involved in manning merchant vessels with officers and crew since 1982, and by Captain Markos Volikakis with many years of experience in the operation department of big shipping companies.

Our manning offices in Manilla and Odessa have a pool of more than 2.000 Seaman (officers and crew), giving the privilege of rotating the same personnel into the same companies and vessels with a very efficient performance and safe running.

Since 1996 we have obtained the ISO 9002 quality assurance from the BVQ, and we are operating an I.S.M. and STCW ‘78 ammended ‘95 in-house training center assuring full capability of our officers and crew.
