Hartmann Crew in PH
HARTMANN Crew Philippines (HCP), a sea-based human resource company, was officially launched recently.
HCP was earlier known as Associated Ship Management (ASM). It changed its name in line with efforts to align the local unit’s strategy to that of its principal partner in Germany, Hartmann AG, and to reaffirm its membership to the Hartmann Group, one of Germany’s largest privately owned shipping companies.
ASM—now known as Hartmann Crew Philippines—has been the official and sole crewing partner of Hartmann AG in the Philippines since 2002.
Hartmann Crew Philippines CEO and President Alberto L. Gomez said there was no change in the composition of the company’s management and in its policies and values.
“The shipping industry has evolved and its changes are the new normal. We are re-orienting our strategies in order to innovate alongside these current realities and we begin by branding. We assure all our stakeholders that they can expect the same, if not better service from Hartmann Crew Philippines. We will, as always, be devoted to caring for all our crew and their dependents as well,” Gomez said.
