A deficiency list to close before sailing
Each item worked through with the crew, repaired or replaced, and the evidence prepared for close-out.
We operate managed vessels in the safest and most efficient manner possible, satisfying flag states, port states, class societies and charterers in full ISM Code compliance.
Every managed vessel has a named engineer with sea time, and no account-manager layer between you and the person who knows the ship.
A missed survey window costs more than most repairs: certificates lapse and charters suffer. Every managed vessel is planned against this cycle.
| Survey | When | What we do |
|---|---|---|
| Annual survey | Every year, within three months either side of the anniversary date. | Open items closed and records ready before the surveyor boards. |
| Intermediate survey | In place of the second or third annual survey. | Scope agreed with class early, so any yard work is planned, not discovered. |
| Renewal survey | Every five years. The largest scope in the cycle. | Specification and yard planning started well ahead of the due date. |
| Bottom survey | Twice in each five-year period, no more than 36 months apart. | Dry-dock or in-water survey timed to fit the trading pattern. |
| Port State Control | Any port, any time. | Certificates, maintenance and defect records kept current to avoid deficiencies and detentions. |
Intervals summarise the general IACS survey cycle. Your class society's rules and the vessel's survey status always govern.
Technical management is mostly about the next problem before it arrives. These are the situations we are asked to take on.
Each item worked through with the crew, repaired or replaced, and the evidence prepared for close-out.
Survey of the vessel, a full repair specification and yard planning, joined up with our ship repair agency.
Root cause before parts: running data, maintenance history and inspection, then a lasting repair.
EU ETS exposure estimated and the retrofits that reduce it assessed with the owner.
The codes, classes and conventions every managed vessel is run to.
Full compliance with the International Safety Management Code on every managed vessel.
Aligned with MARPOL Annexes covering air, oil, sewage and garbage discharge requirements.
Support for monitoring, reporting, verification and emissions trading obligations in EU ports.
Work prepared and documented to the standards of all major classification societies.
Compliance and survey support across the flag states our managed fleet operates under.
Direct operational access to two of Türkiye's principal shipyard regions.
For fleets of three or more vessels. Single vessels are quoted per project.
One engineer for a fault-finding visit. A full team on site within a week for a dry-dock or a retrofit. Whatever the size, every job runs the same way.
Written down and agreed before the work starts.
Findings recorded, not assumed.
Progress to the owner every day.
Documentation handed over with the job.
