Ship management questions

Nanak Ship Management Pvt Ltd is an international provider of technical ship management, crew management and licensed seafarer labour supply from India. It works to BIMCO SHIPMAN agreements, MLC 2006 seafarer standards and ISO 9001:2015 quality protocols. See its ship management services.

Technical ship management covers superintendence, planned maintenance, drydocking, Class and Flag State compliance, and machinery reliability and fuel diagnostics. Related services include dry-dock superintendence, riding repair squads, pre-purchase vessel audits, spares and marine procurement, and Flag State and Class liaison.

Nanak Ship Management describes four phases: technical audit (baseline), crew mobilisation (deployment), voyage execution (monitoring) and lifecycle oversight (preservation). Operations dispatch runs 24/7. Learn more about the Nanak Ship Management approach.

The quoted onboarding timeline for a vessel is 14 to 30 days, depending on Class status and location. Contracts are primarily BIMCO SHIPMAN plus tailored crew management agreements. Ask Nanak Ship Management operations for your vessel.

Yes. A pre-purchase vessel audit gives an independent technical view of a ship before you buy. It is part of the Nanak Ship Management services alongside dry-dock superintendence and spares and marine procurement.

Yes. Class and Flag State compliance and liaison are part of technical ship management, supported by planned maintenance, IMO DCS and CII tracking, so surveys and audits are prepared well in advance.
