Services

Everything between the owner and the vessel.

Take the full package or only the parts you are missing. Each service runs on the same procedures, the same people and the same reporting.

Why owners stay

Big-manager systems. Small-office attention.

Most of our fleet is one to six vessels per owner. That is the size we are built for.

Aerial view of a managed vessel under way

You know your superintendent

One named person per vessel, reachable directly. No ticket queue, no rotating account managers.

Twenty years of cold-water operation

Ferries, reefers and expedition ships in the North Atlantic and the Arctic, in every season.

Compliance done in-house

DOC in seven flag states, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 on the office. Audits are a routine, not a scramble.

Flexible scope

Full management, a single service or short-term cover. Scope in writing, priced per vessel, changed with a month's notice.

"A manager should make an owner's life simpler, not add a layer between him and his ship."Shipping.fo operating principle

Safe.Transparent.Practical.

Certified maritime services from the Faroe Islands since 2006

How we work

Three ways to bring us on board.

Full management

We run the ship

Technical, crew and compliance under one contract and one DOC. Owner keeps commercial control and gets a monthly report.

  • Named superintendent and DPA
  • Crew management, recruitment and crew wages
  • Budget, PMS and docking
  • Accounting and monthly reporting
  • Cloud HSEQ access for the owner
Compliance only

We hold the DOC

Owner keeps technical and crewing in-house; we provide the safety management system, audits and the 24/7 emergency line.

  • ISM, ISPS and MLC under our DOC
  • Internal audits and drills
  • Assistance at class and flag audits
  • Flag and class correspondence
Projects & cover

We fill the gap

Defined-scope work: a docking, an IHM, a pre-purchase survey, or a superintendent for the months you are short-handed.

  • Fixed scope and price
  • Flag agent and change of flag (FAS)
  • Start within days
  • Hand-back with full records

Fleet types

Vessels we manage today.

Different trades, same discipline. The mix keeps our crews and superintendents sharp across rules and climates.
