We manage your vessels with true range and depth
Three key drivers decide on a ship’s overall performance: reliable steel & crew performance, optimized revenue generation and smart asset management.
In all that we do, we take into consideration the interaction between the three.
We deeply understand your holistic needs because we are...
... ship managers with vast expertise for all key vessel types, delivering the full range of services; from technical and crewing to quality, compliance, claims, innovation and sustainability.
... charterers ourself and know from direct experience what a ship needs to offer in order to be successful in its market over time.
... shipowners like yourself and as such provide a deep knowledge and understanding of asset strategy, finance and know what investment success in shipping means.
We care personally
Your challenges in good hands
Modern ship management means navigating complexity – technical, regulatory, operational and human.
We turn these challenges into measurable performance.
Steel & strategy - go beyond standard approaches
Your multi-million-dollar asset deserves more than off-the-shelf ship management.
We review each vessel individually, aligning technical decisions with your commercial and asset strategy. Our proactive engineering mindset focuses on cost efficiency, reliability and performance – enabling optimised revenue generation over the vessel’s lifecycle.
Crewing - performing the right strategy
Crews are often reduced to nationality, rank and cost. We see them as the single most important contributor to vessel performance.
Our crews are directly recruited and continuously developed – from selection and career planning to training and long-term retention. This creates motivation, commitment and a strong safety and performance culture on board.
The result: crews who act as an integrated extension of your shore-based team and fully support your commercial objectives.
Managing regulatory complexity
Regulatory requirements are increasing rapidly – from EU ETS and CII to future decarbonisation measures.
We ensure compliance while keeping operational and financial impacts under control. Our perspective combines owner, manager and charterer requirements, allowing us to develop solutions that balance regulation, performance and commercial reality.
Optimizing cost through digitization and smart purchasing
OPEX optimisation requires more than cost cutting – it demands smart systems, collaboration and market insight.
We apply a forward-looking, data-driven purchasing approach based on volume, partnerships and digital processes. By collaborating with specialised institutions and innovative digital companies, we continuously improve efficiency while maintaining technical integrity and reliability.
