Schulte Group Recruiting and Shipping Office - Riga was initially founded in 1991.  For several years the company remained a small operation; employing about 100 seafarers from Latvia, mainly for gas carriers.  However, in 1998 our business expanded rapidly as a consequence  of increasing demand for experienced crew on different vessel types. It was also that year when the company was renamed “Surecruit Riga”.

Today we have a large number of seafarers on our roster, more than 600 crewmembers, who are employed onboard various vessel types, mostly chemical, product and gas tankers of different sizes, ages and flags.  As a result of our increased business, the number of staff manning the office in Riga has also grown.  We currently have a team of 10 well educated and experienced employees.  In fact, the key positions are held by ex-fleet tanker officers and this plays an important role in the company's success.
