What Shipmgmt Does
Explains the business of running vessels for their owners — crewing, technical management, class and compliance, dry-docking, insurance, and owner reporting.
How crews are recruited, certified, rotated, and paid — and what a crewing agency actually does.
Planned maintenance, spares, and the superintendent's job of keeping a vessel in working class.
Classification societies, flag states, and the international conventions a vessel must satisfy to trade.
Why ships leave the water every few years, what gets done, and how yards and budgets are chosen.
Hull and machinery cover versus protection and indemnity clubs — who pays when things go wrong.
The budgets, KPIs, and daily operating cost reports a manager owes the vessel's owner.
How Shipmgmt Works
Owner, manager, charterer, flag, and class — who answers to whom in a vessel's paper chain.
Crewing rotations, surveys, audits, and budgets, traced across twelve months of operations.
Understand the daily running cost, off-hire, and KPI reports that tell an owner the truth.

Get matched
Partners respond. Transparent pricing. No surprises.
The manager runs the vessel day to day — crew, maintenance, compliance, insurance — while the owner holds the asset. Management fees are typically charged per vessel per month.
It is written for owners, students, investors, and the maritime-curious. It explains the industry; it does not provide professional, legal, or brokerage services.
Owners with a few vessels usually outsource; large fleets often manage in-house. The crossover point is a staffing and compliance-overhead calculation the guides walk through.
