Primemarineship was founded in 2012 with the purpose of providing recruitment and crew management services for Portuscale’s cruise ships:

  • Funchal,
  • Azores,
  • Porto, and
  • Lisboa.

Since then, the company has been operating with excellence in the maritime sector and today, with over 600 employees, offers comprehensive solutions ranging from recruitment to full crew management.
Headquartered in Lisbon, overlooking the Tagus River, and with a branch in Sines, it ensures easy and fast access to most vessels docking at two of Portugal’s main ports.
