About us
A guide to the whole pathway.

The team works from India with students, seafarers and ship owners across the world, and every Nanak group business has its own contact page. For ship and crew matters see the Nanak Ship Management contact page.
A marine professional typically replies within one working day to calls, messages and emails. For urgent ship-side needs the Nanak Ship Management operations desk runs 24/7, as described on its main website, while career questions go to ProCareerTek.
