Browse job descriptions commonly used by Ship Management companies.
Own the ship management platform the whole business runs on, because planned maintenance, procurement, crewing and vessel accounting all live in one system and its data quality is the service.
Win third-party management mandates from owners, selling the manager's technical record, crewing pool and cost control rather than a management fee.
Keep owners satisfied that their asset is being run well and their money spent properly, because a management mandate is lost on reporting quality as often as on performance.
Own the managed fleet size and the owner relationships behind it, because in ship management growth and retention are the same conversation.
Support the daily running of managed vessels: certificates, port calls, reports and the follow-up that keeps superintendents free for the vessels.
Run the operational side of managed vessels: port calls, inspections, incidents and the nautical judgement the owner is paying the manager to supply.
Keep an assigned group of vessels reliable, compliant and trading within budget, because the owner judges the manager on off-hire days and opex per day.
Turn noon reports and machinery data into the performance evidence owners and charterers argue over, and into the efficiency measures that reduce fuel spend.
Buy spares, stores and services for the managed fleet at the right price and get them to the vessel at the right port, because a spare that arrives after sailing is worthless.
Own technical and marine standards across the managed fleet, and the off-hire and opex performance that determines whether owners renew the mandate.
Get the right seafarer to the right vessel on the right date with valid documents, because a crew change that fails delays the vessel and breaches the manning certificate.
Keep assigned vessels fully and legally manned with competent crew, planning reliefs far enough ahead that nobody overstays and no vessel sails short.
Run the safety management system across the managed fleet, because the manager holds the ISM Document of Compliance and every vessel's certification depends on it.
Own manning for the managed fleet: the crew pool, the cost, the competence and the legal obligations the manager carries as employer of seafarers.
Own the safety management system the manager's Document of Compliance rests on, across every vessel in the managed fleet and every flag it trades under.
Run the charter party side of managed vessels: hire, off-hire, laytime and the claims that decide how much the owner actually collects.
Place the cover and handle the claims for owners' assets, because when a vessel has an incident the manager's handling determines what the owner recovers.
Account for every vessel as its own business, because the owner's confidence in the manager rests on whether the monthly vessel accounts are accurate and explainable.
Own the money the manager handles on owners' behalf, because a third-party manager operates client funds and the controls around them are the whole basis of trust.
Own fleet procurement, because spares, stores and lubricants are a large share of owner opex and the manager's buying scale is one of the reasons owners appoint it.
Own the commercial management services the manager provides on top of technical management: post-fixture, insurance, claims and the recovery of what owners are owed.
Run the ship management business: the fleet under management, the technical and safety record that wins mandates, and the owner relationships that keep them.
Set the strategy and direction of the ship management business and be accountable to the board for fleet growth, safety record, owner trust and financial performance.
