Each dept. is headed by a veteran professional.

Our experienced and well trained shipboard management team plays a vital role in efficient and cost effective management of our vessels. We delegate requisite autonomy to them and encourage free flow of information to and from the vessel, keeping the management ashore and aboard fully upto date concerning all aspects of the vessel.

Management ashore, oversees the performance of the vessels very keenly, interjecting and guiding the shipboard management team, where required. All our staff aboard, feels there responsibility and hence plays an important part in the successful management.

Our experience has shown that in this manner vessels are managed efficiently and economically, at the same time allowing policy decisions of the owners to be implemented effectively.

• Selecting tailored category of officers and crew for each particular type of vessel, while ensuring to create a strong foundation towards shipboard management.
• Crew changes are carefully planned and coordinated to minimize joining / repatriation expenses.

• If so required, we utilizes the services of our Flying Repair Squads concurrently with trading of the vessel, to carry out repairs during the voyage and thereby affecting enormous savings in dry dock time and expenses at the scheduled dockings.
