A Fleet may vary in size depending on the number of ship being managed. The ratio of staff and support resources will be designated accordingly.

Typically a fleet consisting of 9 to 10 vessels is controlled by a team of:

1 x Fleet Manager

• 2 x Technical Superintendents (Chief Engineers)
• 2 x Marine Superintendents (Masters)
• 1 x Clerical Assistant

Additional support is provided by:

• The Purchasing Section

Crew Management Section

• Accounting & Administration
• IT Section

Each member of the Fleet with the exception of the clerical assistant regularly visits the vessels and carries out inspection of his assigned vessel. Close liaison with the Master regarding any review, comments and improvements to company SMS, vessel maintenance plan, budget matters, safety and environmental protection practices, set priorities, etc., are being verified and discussed properly to meet NCO strict standards.

 A Vessel Inspection Report is then prepared after the visit so that a progressive record of the vessel can be kept and the condition reports forwarded to Owners. Further, all vessels are regularly audited every six (6) months by the DPA for ISM compliance as required by ISM code. Then, a vessel Safety Audit Reports is prepared after the audit.

Dry dock indents / work order lists are being prepared three (3) months in advance. A follow-up visit to the vessel if necessary is undertaken to draw up and prepare dry docking specification one (1) month in advance. Quotes are sought from several repair yards and the best suitable choice is made depending on location, cost and reputation.

Efficient and careful planning goes side by side with cost control. With detail and close discussions with the Owners, operating budget are drawn and reviewed yearly. Tight budgetary control without sacrificing overall quality and maintenance are strictly adhered to. Careful planning, not only by offshore personnel but most importantly by ship’s staff, ensures the best possible maintenance standards, without sacrificing the optimization of the commercial requirements of the vessel.
