Consultancy →120°Technical care
A ship is only as reliable as its routine
Breakdowns rarely arrive without warning. Good technical management turns that warning into a schedule: what to inspect, when to service, which part must be on board and who signs it off.
- Planned maintenance routines that crews can follow
- Spare parts lists with minimum stock levels
- Surveys and dry-docking planned well ahead

Which services matter for your vessel type?
Different ships carry different priorities. Pick a type to see where support usually adds the most value.
Tanker
Cargo systems, tank cleanliness, pollution prevention and vetting readiness lead the agenda.
Charterer inspections such as SIRE are a regular event, so records and defect close-out matter.
Services that usually matter most
Bulk carrier
Hull and hold condition, hatch covers, cargo handling gear and reliable repair planning stand out.
Voyage monitoring and claims evidence are particularly useful on tramp trades.
Services that usually matter most
Container ship
Schedule reliability, port turnarounds and equipment uptime drive priorities.
Tight rotations mean maintenance and crew changes must be planned around port calls.
Services that usually matter most
General cargo
Flexible trading and varied cargo call for careful gear maintenance and good port coordination.
A single, simple management agreement often suits smaller vessels well.
Services that usually matter most
Offshore support
Specialised equipment, competence records and operating-area requirements need extra care.
Crew competence documentation and equipment records are often reviewed in detail.

Who handles what

345°FAQ
Ship management, answered
Short, honest answers to the questions owners ask first. More on the full FAQ page.
01What does a ship management company do?
A ship management company runs a vessel on behalf of its owner. It coordinates technical upkeep, crewing, safety and compliance, voyage operations and reporting, so the owner can focus on ownership and commercial decisions while the ship stays operational, documented and ready for inspection.
02What is the difference between technical and commercial ship management?
Technical management looks after the ship itself: maintenance, spares, surveys, dry-docking and class matters. Commercial management looks after earning from it: chartering support, voyage estimates, monitoring and claims. Many owners combine both under one ship management agreement, while others split them between providers.
03What services does North East Management Consultancy FZ-LLC offer?
North East offers international ship management services covering technical management, crew management, commercial and chartering support, compliance and safety support, and marine consultancy. Services can be taken together as a full package or individually, depending on what the owner already handles in house.
04Can I use North East for only one part of ship management?
Yes. Services are modular, so an owner can ask for support with a single area, such as crew documentation or inspection preparation, and add other areas later. The scope is written down at the start so that each party knows exactly what is handled and what stays with the owner.
05Which vessel types does the service cover?
The service approach applies to tankers, bulk carriers, container ships, general cargo vessels and offshore support vessels. Each type has different maintenance, crewing and inspection priorities, so the planning tools on this site let you describe your vessel type and see which service areas usually matter most.
06How do I start a conversation about ship management?
Send an email to [email protected] with your vessel type, the number of vessels and the services you are considering. The enquiry builder on this site prepares that email for you. There is no obligation, and no price is quoted before the scope has been discussed.
