In marine and offshore industries, skilled manpower is the foundation of safe, efficient operations. Whether you’re running a cargo vessel, managing offshore construction, or supporting deep-sea drilling, you need trained, certified personnel who are ready to perform in high-risk, high-reliability environments.

That’s where marine manpower supply comes in.

At Wigmore Trading, we provide end-to-end marine manpower solutions — sourcing, certifying, and deploying crew and support staff for vessels, platforms, ports, and marine projects across Nigeria and West Africa.


What Is Marine Manpower Supply?

Marine manpower supply is the outsourcing of recruitment, onboarding, and deployment of marine and offshore personnel to a specialized provider.

This includes:

  • Full or partial vessel crew (deck, engine, catering)

  • Offshore platform and rig workers

  • Port and terminal operations staff

  • Marine construction and dredging manpower

  • Temporary or long-term crew contracts

Whether you need a full crew for an AHTS vessel or a handful of certified riggers, manpower supply ensures your workforce is qualified, compliant, and available when needed.
