1. About Crewreers
Crewreers is a maritime crew networking platform operated by EJM Ventures Pty Ltd (ABN 80 696 343 889), a company registered in New South Wales, Australia ("we", "us", "our", "Crewreers").
The Crewreers platform (the "Platform") connects maritime crew members seeking employment with vessel operators, charter companies, marinas, and yacht management firms seeking to hire crew ("Operators"). Crewreers is a marketplace platform only — we are not an employment agency, labour hire company, or party to any employment arrangement between crew and operators.
2. Eligibility
To use Crewreers, you must:
- Be at least 18 years of age
- Have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract
- Not be prohibited from using the Platform under applicable law
- Provide accurate and complete registration information
The minimum age of 18 is set in accordance with the practical requirements of the maritime industry and the Maritime Labour Convention 2006 (MLC 2006), which restricts night work for crew under 18.
