Technical – Uniship Management Private Limited

Our skill in offering a full portfolio of third party technical ship management services is our team of highly skilled and dedicated superintendents. We monitor the vessels' performance closely to ensure optimum operating efficiency. Further, ships under our care are inspected at regular intervals by the superintendent concerned to follow up on all aspects of shipboard operational matters and to maintain an active contact with the vessel.

We take special interest to ensure vessels under our charge get prompt attention at all times. It is this commitment that assures every vessel's operating requirements are met and vessel operating condition is always at its best.

Working side by side with our superintendents is our Planned Maintenance System that allows for close monitoring and timely vessel maintenance. The vessel performance and cost savings demonstrates the quality of our technical management services.
