ASPECTS TO LOOK FOR WHILE CHOOSING THIRD-PARTY SHIP MANAGEMENT SERVICES

ASPECTS TO LOOK FOR WHILE CHOOSING THIRD-PARTY SHIP MANAGEMENT SERVICES


Outsourcing services in shipping management to the third party can help shipping firms to improve their functional competence in administering the vessel’s day-to-day operations. There are an immense array of activities associated with the service and management of a ship such as crewing of vessel, maintenance engineering, supervision of quality system, integrated logistics support, inventory control, Safety system execution, procurement, and property management. 

The managers and owners of the ship propose an agreement as to the circle of power that the manager genuinely holds. Sometimes, few shipping companies offer overall control and functioning of the ship to the third-party ship management service provider. However, this provides a chance to ship owners to concentrate on their main competencies and search for efficient options to boost their business 

Ship owners have another option that they can transfer the control of particular marine operations, for instance, vessel crewing and shore-based activities (like logistics support). While choosing a ship operations and management company to run an armada or fleet, it is essential to go for a company which has the solid background and extensive experience in this field. It is not enough to have expertise and experience only because there is a need to have a large network of contacts also. Having a network helps in finding the new squadrons and crew for vessels as well as procuring goods. Highly experienced companies serve better services in ship management because they have a stable and robust grip over extensive international rules, standards, and regulations that marine vessels need to agree with and face the security procedures. The established ship operations and management associations/firms can operate and govern the full range of shipbuilding services along with proper management and regulation.
