Services

Everything between the owner and the vessel.

Take the full package or only the parts you are missing. Each service runs on the same procedures, the same people and the same reporting.

All services in detail

  • Technical management

    Planned maintenance, dry-docking, spares, class and flag surveys, budgets and monthly reporting you can actually read.

  • Crew management

    Crewing, payroll, travel, certificates and training records for officers and ratings who fit the vessel and the trade.

  • ISM, ISPS & MLC

    Safety management system, ship security and maritime labour compliance under our Documents of Compliance, audited and kept current.

  • Digital operations

    Cloud HSEQ system with live KPIs, findings, drills and certificates in one place. Owners see what we see.

  • Recruitment

    Sourcing and vetting of seafarers and shore staff for owners who keep crewing in-house but need reach.

  • Peak-load assistance

    Extra superintendents, DPA cover or a whole technical desk for a docking, a newbuild delivery or a busy season.

  • Emergency preparedness

    Contingency plans, drills and a manned emergency line. When something happens at 03:00, someone who knows the ship picks up.

  • Hazardous materials

    Inventory of Hazardous Materials preparation and maintenance for EU Ship Recycling and Hong Kong Convention compliance.

  • Surveys, insurance & pre-tow

    Condition and pre-purchase surveys, insurance support and tow approvals with the surveyors and underwriters we work with every year.

  • Flag & agency (FAS)

    Registration, flag correspondence and agency services for owners entering the Faroese register or calling at Faroese ports.

Why owners stay

Big-manager systems. Small-office attention.

Most of our fleet is one to six vessels per owner. That is the size we are built for.

You know your superintendent

One named person per vessel, reachable directly. No ticket queue, no rotating account managers.

Twenty years of cold-water operation

Ferries, reefers and expedition ships in the North Atlantic and the Arctic, in every season.

Compliance done in-house

DOC in seven flag states, ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 on the office. Audits are a routine, not a scramble.

Flexible scope

Full management, a single service or short-term cover. Scope in writing, priced per vessel, changed with a month's notice.

"A manager should make an owner's life simpler, not add a layer between him and his ship."Shipping.fo operating principle

How we work

Three ways to bring us on board.

Full management

We run the ship

Technical, crew and compliance under one contract and one DOC. Owner keeps commercial control and gets a monthly report.

  • Named superintendent and DPA
  • Budget, PMS and docking
  • Cloud HSEQ access for the owner
Compliance only

We hold the DOC

Owner keeps technical and crewing in-house; we provide the safety management system, audits and the 24/7 emergency line.

  • ISM, ISPS and MLC under our DOC
  • Internal audits and drills
  • Flag and class correspondence
Projects & cover

We fill the gap

Defined-scope work: a docking, an IHM, a pre-purchase survey, or a superintendent for the months you are short-handed.

  • Fixed scope and price
  • Start within days
  • Hand-back with full records

Fleet types

Vessels we manage today.

Different trades, same discipline. The mix keeps our crews and superintendents sharp across rules and climates.
