Our vessel maintenance policy is aligned with (i) our customer-focused strategy of providing high quality vessels and (ii) our intention to maximise vessel life and reliability by investing in maintenance.

We continually improve our preventive maintenance programmes and have equipped all of our vessels with a Planned Maintenance System. This software allows us to ensure the integrity, continuity and standardisation of maintenance, and effectively manages the communication between vessel and office with regard to repair and maintenance.

Detailed analysis of vessels combined with lengthy ship management experience has allowed us to adopt predictive replacement of critical equipment, thereby delivering operational efficiencies and reduced costs. We also conduct external benchmarking on safety, environmental and budgetary issues, which we use to ensure consistent above-average performance based on industry benchmarks.
