How many times have you wanted to understand the real situation on a vessel before signing a contract?
How does the crew actually work together? What are the living conditions like? Is there reliable internet? What about the food? How does the management communicate?

And how often did you really manage to find clear answers?

In most cases, it meant a long and exhausting process: searching for contacts, messaging strangers on social media, waiting for replies — or not receiving any at all.
Often, this happened after the contract was already signed, when there was effectively no choice left.

You can explore the  GYRO vessel database and view available ship reviews.

What is Ship Reviews in GYRO?

It is a structured vessel evaluation system based on real crew experience.
Instead of general impressions or emotional comments, each review is built around specific criteria that reflect the actual working conditions on board.

You won’t find promotional descriptions, HR-style wording, or “perfect” images here.
Only what seafarers face every day on board — without filters or embellishment.

What parameters are vessels evaluated by?

‍

‍

Every GYRO user can leave a review and rate a vessel based on key parameters that directly affect life and work at sea:

• Availability and quality of digital connectivity
  Internet access, Wi-Fi, satellite connection, and overall connection stability
• Onboard communication and teamwork
  Interaction between officers and crew, support from the Master or Chief Engineer
• Food and provisions
  Food quality, variety, and regularity of supply replenishment
• Interaction with vessel management
  Communication with the vessel manager and marine superintendent
• Living conditions and onboard comfort
  Noise levels, vibration, cabin comfort, and general living conditions

This approach makes it possible to form an objective picture of a vessel, rather than relying on the subjective opinion of a single individual.

Anonymity and Review Safety

We understand that honest feedback in the maritime industry is a sensitive topic.
That is why GYRO allows users to leave reviews anonymously.

• no personal identification
• no risk to your career
• no pressure from companies or management

Anonymity is not about criticism for the sake of criticism - it is about honesty and trust.
