Shipboard Management Each shipboard management team, consisting of two masters and two chief engineers, is responsible for the superintendence of their vessel. This unique and successful method of ship operation stimulates the officers' interest and involvement in their own vessel, ensures optimal maintenance and high technical standards and, in the long run, lowers overall costs. Working together, while on board as well as on leave, the senior officers are responsible for budgets, spares and stores, and repairs and maintenance. They are also involved in the management of quality, safety and regulatory issues as well as the recruitment of junior officers and crews. The shore organisation provides technical support, crewing and personnel co-ordination, commercial management, accounting and harmonisation of the operation of the vessels. |
