Candina Group: Home of Seafarers

Candina Group?has sailed through many waves and storms. Following where the wind blows, it transformed from a maritime transport sector to a maritime employment agency. From carrying seafarers and goods to allocating them: Candina Group has evolved for a greater cause and become a?trusted?and?accountable?service company for seafarers and shipowners all across the globe.

The History of Candina Group

Antonio Candina was the founder of the Candina Group. Back in 1919, this ship's captain became a shareholder in the Compa?ía Naviera Bidasoa and became the owner of his own ship, which he called Candina.

Captain Antonio Candina sailed for a long time with the ship Candina and is remembered for his humanity and kindness. Among other events, he is remembered for participating in the rescue of the crew of the ship?Harpague?in the Mediterranean Sea during its sinking in 1941, for which he received a silver cup for his hospitality. This event is the turning point for Candina to become a company that nurtures seafarers and helps them to grow and thrive.

Since 1960, Candina Maritime Agency has evolved to become crew management with a notorious presence in the maritime sector. Until now, we continue working to provide the best service to our customers; with the utmost dedication and transparency, striving for excellence in our growth.

For more information, our CEO himself has prepared a video that explains our company history in brief.
