We will never ask you to pay a recruitment fee, a placement fee or a fee for your job on board. You should only make payments that relate to legal/travel documentation required to work on board.
There are some documents you need as a seafarer to permit you to work on board and to visit different ports; we will pay for most of these, but there are some reasonable costs you’ll need to pay for personal travel documents such as your passport.
