1. Open the Jobs page
The "Jobs" link in the top menu takes you to the list of all maritime jobs. You can search directly by typing a rank, vessel type or region.
2. Choose a category
Maritime jobs are grouped into four categories:
- Seafarer: sea jobs for deck, engine and catering crews.
- Office Staff: shore-based roles at shipping companies.
- Port Staff: port and terminal jobs.
- Technical Staff: shipyard, maintenance and technical service.
3. Use the filters
Narrow down seafarer jobs with the filters on the left:
- Rank: Master, Chief Officer, Second Engineer, AB, Cook...
- Vessel type: tanker, bulk carrier, container, LNG, RoRo, yacht, offshore...
- Region: Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Far East and more.
- Nationality, minimum salary and joining date filters.
Maritime jobs tagged "Immediate / ASAP" are for ships waiting for an urgent joining.

Faroys is not a middleman; you talk directly to the employer who posted the seafarer job. For each maritime job, the employer chooses which contact channels to open:
- phone,

There is no commission in between and no fee asked of you. If anyone asks you for money for a maritime job, report the listing immediately.
