Technical Management

• Overseeing the physical maintenance, repair, and operational integrity of the vessel, ensuring maximum uptime, regulatory compliance, and asset value preservation.

• Planned Maintenance System (PMS) Implementation: Operating a stringent PMS to schedule and execute all statutory, class, and manufacturer-recommended maintenance tasks.

• Class and Flag State Management: Liaising directly with classification societies (e.g., Lloyd's Register, DNV) and flag state authorities to maintain all vessel certification and surveys.

• Machinery Monitoring & Diagnostics: Implementing condition-based monitoring systems to analyze engine performance, vibration, and fluid health for predictive maintenance.

• Spare Parts Logistics & Inventory: Managing a global supply chain for spare parts, ensuring critical components are stocked and delivered efficiently to minimize port delays.

• Dry-Dock Planning and Execution: Strategically planning and managing the complex scope, budget, and execution of major dry-docking and repair periods.

• Vessel Performance Optimization: Continuous monitoring of hull and propeller fouling (biofouling) and scheduling cleanings to maintain optimal fuel efficiency.

• Safety Management System (SMS) Compliance: Maintaining and auditing the vessel's SMS to ensure operations adhere to the highest international safety standards (ISM Code).

• Budgetary Control & Reporting: Implementing detailed expenditure controls for technical operations, providing transparent monthly cost reporting to the owner.

• Insurance and Claim Management: Managing hull and machinery (H&M) insurance policies and handling technical claims efficiently to recover costs from incidents.

• Regulatory Upgrades & Retrofits: Overseeing the technical implementation of mandatory retrofits, such as Ballast Water Treatment Systems (BWTS) and scrubbers.

• IT and Communication Systems: Managing the installation, maintenance, and security of all vessel IT, navigation, and satellite communication systems.

• Emergency Response Coordination: Maintaining a 24/7 technical emergency response capability to quickly address breakdowns, incidents, or machinery failures globally.

• Technical Audit Program: Running an internal technical auditing program to verify the condition of critical systems and the effectiveness of the onboard maintenance plan.
