Planning to work on a Dutch flagged vessel? Here is what you actually need.
A Dutch Seaman Book, officially known as the Seafarer's Discharge Book or Zeemansboekje, is one of the most important documents for any seafarer working on Dutch flagged ships. It serves as your official record of employment, qualifications and sea service while ensuring full compliance with Dutch and international maritime laws.
Without it your sign-on can be delayed, your contract may be at risk and your eligibility to work on Dutch vessels can be questioned at any inspection.
At Seaman Solutions we make the entire Dutch Seaman Book process smooth and stress free from start to finish. Whether you need a new Seaman Book, a renewal, a duplicate for a lost or damaged one or recognition of your Certificate of Competence, our team handles it with full accuracy and care. With Provisional, Express and Standard service options, you can choose the speed that fits your timeline.
