Choosing a Marine service company:
For those of you who are struggling to meet your shipping service demands through your existing marine services provider, here are a few tips to make your lives easier.
Sustainable business relations are based on trust and reliability. A good ship husbandry company understands the needs of the customer including special requirements if any. Thus, a vendor is preferred who looks at a relationship with a long-term view, as opposed to someone who is keen on checking the box to earn a quick buck.
Marine services providers can improve operating efficiency and reduce cost. For instance, in a port, they would definitely have a deeper understanding of specialised areas viz. provision supplies, spares delivery or even engineering services. They have a wide network of operators to choose from and the benefit of proximity and scale.
I was a sailing captain earlier and I am now a fleet manager based in Singapore. I have worked with a lot of marine agencies in different ports. Off late I have been engaging Amigoz Singapore PTE LTD. They are responsive, cost effective and very customer friendly. There are a few other good agencies also, but Amigoz ranks high or personal connect and customization.
Crew changes Why & What?
Ship crew change is a must at appropriate intervals either to rotate the crew on various vessels of the company or give the crew some rest before they are on-boarded again. If the crew stay onboard is prolonged, it can create physical or mental health issues. Problems like low morale, lack of motivation, serious mental health issues like depression, nutrient deficiencies etc. are very common in the marine world. If unattended these could lead to emergencies or problems with the shore authorities. Thus, it is essential to conduct crew changes periodically.
Benefits of crew shuttle service Singapore
Special approvals are required to get in to the port. With specialised crew shuttle service, crew can get in and out of the vessel in the fastest possible time seamlessly.
A good crew shuttle service is vastly beneficial for shore leave, medical attendance and sign on/off purposes.
Best crew land transportation services
For a company to excel in transportation of crew members, the company has to be flexible, as crew might need to wait in the transport for a few hours, they might need to be provided with meals, or sent to hospital/doctor for check-up. These services are required 24X7, and sometimes at short notices. Drivers need to be empathetic and courteous even if they have to wait for prolonged hours. A company which has the flexibility for such arrangements can only be classified as a satisfactory crew transportation service company.
