Welcome to South Sea Services Ltd

Your Trusted Crew Manning Partner in the South Pacific

South Sea Services Ltd is a fully licensed and MLC 2006-compliant Manning Agency based in Port Vila, Vanuatu, dedicated to sourcing, recruiting, supplying, and managing professional seafarers for leading international clients including Carnival Cruise Line, Respond Global, and Pierre Brunet Shipping.

In 2025, we expanded our reach by partnering with London Wellness Academy — the leading international training institute for spa and wellness professionals. This partnership opens doors for individuals across the South Pacific to access world-class training and exciting spa careers aboard luxury cruise ships and resorts.

Originally incorporated in 1995 and proudly privately owned by Carissa Jacobe since 2002, South Sea Services Ltd has built a strong reputation for integrity, transparency, and quality service. We operate under a strict “no fee” policy, ensuring seafarers are never charged for employment opportunities.

We are certified by Lloyd’s Register, the world’s leading classification and inspection authority, and undergo annual audits to maintain our high standards under the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) 2006.
