TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT

It is the policy of Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement to operate all managed vessels in the safest and most proper manner possible, ensuring that all managed vessels operate in accordance with:

• shipowners’ requirements.
• design requirements.
• flag state and class requirements.
• charterers’ requirements and most importantly the International Safety Management Code.

Technical Superintendents are each allocated a group of four to five vessels.

The Superintendent is responsible for monitoring the vessels' condition and all aspects of their performance and operation, including:

• safe and efficient cargo handling and cargo conditioning.
• planned and project maintenance.
• regular condition assessment.
• dry dock planning and supervision.
• budget control.
• certification and vetting.

Owners will be able to access reports and data regarding the running of their vessels through a dedicated website. Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement is thus in the position to provide shipowners with up-to-date information regarding their respective vessel under our management. The aim is to provide the most transparent management system possible for shipowners requiring the very latest information about their vessels - be it of a technical, crew, accounting or other related nature. All clients are provided with a secure password to gain access to information on their respective vessels from their own PC.

Our solid relationships with first-class suppliers, workshops and marine service providers ensure that our principals consistently receive reliable and high-quality service at the lowest possible price.

Our highly qualified and capable Marine Commercial Operations teams closely monitor the commercial performance of managed vessels and manage the commercial risks faced by our Principals during the course of employment of their vessels. 

Further management support is provided by staff specializing in:

• Loss prevention, safety and quality, marine and cargo operations
• Cryogenic systems
• Commercial Marine insurances
• Purchasing
• information technology, including communication and planned maintenance systems.
