TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT

FLEET SUPERVISION

Reputation sensitive big business will use its financial clout to demand accountability and transparency from their trading partners. The shipping industry should realise it’s a matter of time before it is compelled to become more transparent

Transparency is good for business

Lack of transparency hurts the entire industry, whereas transparency in business can be a competitive advantage in securing risk-adjusted insurance cover and access to liquidity
Shipping remains a secretive industry. Traders and cargo owners are often willing to turn a blind eye to nefarious practices in the industry to keep the supply chain moving. But lack of transparency can become a financial and reputation handicap even for the biggest names in the industry, forcing stakeholders, banks and publicly-traded companies to shun shady deals and unscrupulous practices. As the global economy becomes more open, new technologies such as blockchain and smart contracts will help enforce transparency and accountability down the line. Navmar believes our industry can no longer afford to ignore the call for greater transparency and accountability without risking irreversible damage to credibility and reputation. Shipping and bunkering companies will have to fall in line and open up to wider scrutiny. Operators will have to play a significant role in making this happen. Adopting transparency will improve a company’s reputation in terms of professionalism and competence.

CONTINUOUS REPORTING FOR BETTER DECISION-MAKING

Internal reporting is a significant driver of improvement. Since the launch of ESG reporting guidelines for shipping and offshore, environmental, social and governance issues have become central to how shipping companies are run. At Navmar, we understand the significance of reporting and make it a point to implement comprehensive internal reporting standards help us be a little better every day.

Transparency & Reporting

Transparency and reporting are inseparable in helping build trust with external and internal stakeholders. Matters of safety, security, performance, fuel use, emissions, handling of dangerous or unstable cargo as well as crew well-being and morale are all critical influencers of decision-making in the shipping industry. We work to spread information wider to achieve a more inclusive and informed outcomes.

Fleet Supervision

A large component of our fleet supervision activities is about ensuring that the structure of the vessel remains in good shape and that the ship does not pose any inadequacy risks to the fulfilment of SOLAS and MARPOL convention requirements and the ISM Code. Day-to-day maintenance equipment, materials and spares are in store and crew onboard are trained to utilize these as and when necessary.

Quality & Safety

Our quality parameters are defined to seamlessly achieve operational safety as well as ensure predictability, efficiency, optimum performance and customer satisfaction. Often this translates into maintaining a high level of flexibility when it comes to customizing the breadth and scope of our quality initiatives to suit the varying needs of different owners and their fleet size and conditions

Superintendency & Maintenance

Effective maintenance management and planning help optimize revenue opportunities for a vessel, deliver better fuel efficiency and stay on top of endless safety regulations and requirements as well as compliance issues. At Navmar, we see maintenance management as a water-tight process based on best practices and closely aligned with our quality and safety regime.

Compliance

The 2015 Paris Climate Agreement has radically altered the framework of corporate responsibility and the importance of its accountability to society. Today’s compliance requirements must deal simultaneously with national and multilateral regulations, which are passed frequently without consultation with the industry. Navmar brings motivated experts and proprietary technology to deal with regulatory pressures, and related developments in time.

Digitalization

As with any business change, digitalization requires a strategy and a calibrated approach to bring new technology, management systems and manpower in sync to achieve any success. Along with investment in new tools, re-training and reskilling will be vital to make it work. This is where Navmar is investing, building a fresh core of maritime workers with diverse and innovative skills.
