A team that knows seafarer management from the field, not from a desk.
Since 2017, Human Key Offshore has provided ethical, transparent and innovative human resources services to the maritime industry. We work to improve operational efficiency, guide seafarers' careers and build lasting partnerships with our stakeholders.
Not a middleman, an HR strategist.
Human Key Offshore Corp. is an international company registered in the Marshall Islands. It operates through its Istanbul branch office in Türkiye and its Batumi branch office in Georgia.
We supply crews to a range of ship types, mainly tankers, container ships and bulk carriers. We do not stop at filling vacancies: we build HR strategy together with the companies we serve.
Our founder Hasan Köroğlu's more than 25 years of experience in maritime human resources is the foundation of trust between shipowner and seafarer. With digital systems and streamlined HR processes, we make that experience scalable.

How we work, in three words.
We never charge seafarers a placement fee. We work in line with both the letter and the spirit of MLC 2006.
Who is responsible for what, who pays wages, when each document expires: everything is in writing from the start.
We move candidate selection from gut feeling to data, and bring piles of paper and email together in a single dashboard.
