There is an increasing trend for ship owners to outsource ship management. Here's why: Variation in fleet size Inhouse solution: Managing more ships inhouse can mean selecting and growing your own personnel, implementing larger computer systems and looking for larger office space. These add to your administration overheads and costs. NAVIGO solution: Maintain and optimise the use of a core capacity and let the overflow or variation in workload - number of vessels - be handled by NAVIGO. Outsourcing ship management offers flexibility in resources and allows a shipping company to expand freely while the administrative burden is transferred to the manager. Greater control of operational costs Inhouse solution: Variation in size means variation in your operational costs. NAVIGO solution: By outsourcing, crew costs become fixed and any variation risks are transferred to the manager. NAVIGO also uses its buying power to keep the technical costs low, and all commissions and discounts are refunded to our clients Sharing experience Inhouse solution: A new type, or unfamiliar vessel can challenge your resources NAVIGO solution: NAVIGO and the Schulte Group have unparalleled knowledge and experience in the management of a wide variety of vessels and crew. We will exchange best practice with the ship owner, providing an opportunity for reduced operating costs and improved safety. Utilisation of management time Inhouse solution: (Organic) growth and complying with applicable laws and regulations require management time; time which could be used to focus on core activities such as business expansion. NAVIGO solution: NAVIGO shoulders these problems, releasing management time for the ship owner. Transfer of risk NAVIGO solution: Transfer operational risks to your ship manager.
