Managing a bulk carrier
Regular ship or sailing visits by the vessel managers as well as the top management is important to ensure that first hand impression and condition of the vessel is reported accurately to owners.
Continuous availability of the vessels and maintaining lay-can is achievable. One of the critical factors to reach this is through the prevention of potential main engine breakdowns. Cargo hold readiness including structural integrity, weather tightness, safe access, rust prevention and cleanliness are effectively monitored.
We also keep the general ballast systems and operation in good condition. The ballast water treatment system’s availability, especially ballasting capacity/pump rates on larger bulk carriers (cape size and upwards), are always kept in check.
With our effective procurement of spare parts, stores and provision in all corners of the globe, we can help owners maintain OPEX budget. During dry docking, our experts follow stringent processes and timelines to minimize downtime and expenses to owners.
