CHARTERING

Colombo Ship Management offers partial cargo transportation opportunities to offer its customers lower costs by bringing together the right time and cargo and complementing the ship chartering service

TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT

Technical Management of Ships covers all sectors that maximize a ship's efficiency and physical condition throughout its working life. The services we provide to our clients (ship-owners) always comply with the requirements of industry regulators, recognized statutory bodies, appropriate Flag State laws, and where the Vessel is required to trade.

We provide these services through our team of highly qualified, experienced, and dedicated personnel consisting of captains, engineers, supercargoes, and technical supervisors. As a rule, technical supervisors are assigned to a group of two to three vessels each, who are responsible for monitoring the condition of the ships and all aspects of their performance and operations.

We also ensure that a strict approach to safety and security is always maintained, and we emphasize environmental protection.

We constantly audit our procedures to ensure that the highest standards of operation are maintained. These services include arranging and supervising dry-docks, repairs, alterations, and maintenance of the Vessel to the standards agreed with the Owners, arranging for the supply of necessary stores, spare parts, lubricating oil and other consumables used by the vessels, vessel inspection, budget control and many other things where it is impossible to utilize the Vessel cost-effectively and profitably.

The Colombo Ship Management team can effectively plan dry docks and other major repairs, upgrades, and conversions and supervise these services to the highest standard

INSPECTION

Pre-purchase vessel condition inspection, Pre-docking vessel inspection, Ship general inspection, and Hull and Machinery damage inspections can be carried out by the Companies' own Chief Inspectors, Technical Managers, Fleet Electricians, or special General Inspectors

COMMERCIAL MANAGEMENT


Commercial Management covers various forms of employment on behalf of the vessel's owner, on a time charter (bareboat) or voyage charter basis, ranging from spot to term employment. It also includes the provision of three main groups of services offered by the Company as Manager to its clients

Chartering

Chartering is a core activity of any commercial management process which in accordance with BIMCO’s Standard Ship Management Agreement “SHIPMAN 2009” comprises but is not limited to “seeking and negotiating employment for the Vessel and the conclusion of charter parties or other contracts relating to the employment of the Vessel”. Depending on owners’ requests we provide for each ship voyage, single time charter (“time charter trip”) or where required period employment.

This function is carried out by our Vienna office for the handy, supra size and panamax ships and by our Odessa office for tonnage of up to 13,000 dwt. We aim to secure the best employment available in order to optimise earnings and to ensure positioning of tonnage to best take advantage of the constantly changing market conditions. As a priority and for security, all prospective new business partners and charterers are screened.

Operations

The Operational aspect of commercial management is a crucial part of the equation. This is the area where money can be saved or lost and a voyage can be made more or less profitable. Our experienced ship operators ensure the safe and efficient handling of all the ships and the smooth execution of all voyages.

We are in constant communication with our competent ship’s Masters as well as with charterers, brokers, port agents and bunker suppliers.

Our operators are fully aware of the vital importance from a commercial viewpoint of the effect their work will have in the context of the competitive environment within which shipping operates and as such there is constant liaison with the commercial department to ensure that any/all possible problematic situations which may arise are dealt with promptly and efficiently.

Calculations

It is hard to imagine that modern model of commercial management could exist without comprehensive system of such tools as voyage estimating and accounting, actual voyage results calculations, full load calculation, advising shortest routes for the vessel, calculation of hire, freights, demurrage and despatch monies from or due to the charterers of the Vessel, accounts control, performance analyses in the form of time charter equivalent for any period required.

All above tasks, which we carry out with assistance of up-to-date marine IT solutions, ship management and accounting software, are vital to the profitability of shipping business.
