<strong>Marlow</strong> Ship Management<br />
Deutschland GmbH & Co.KG - MSD<br />
In January of 2004, <strong>Marlow</strong> Ship<br />
Management Deutschland GmbH &<br />
Co. KG or MSD as it is more frequently<br />
referred to, was incorporated.<br />
<strong>Marlow</strong> Ship Management Deutschland - Interior Office<br />
It is easiest to compare MSD to a German<br />
technical management department of a<br />
shipowning company. On a day to day<br />
basis MSD is bestowed by it clients with<br />
the management of currently 17 container<br />
vessels ranging in size from 500<br />
TEU to 1200 TEU nominal capacity. Our<br />
clients are various German Ship owners<br />
who for different reasons do not want to<br />
be involved in the operational management<br />
of some or all of their vessels.<br />
Even though often referred to as technical<br />
management the scope of service offered<br />
is much broader than “only” the<br />
supervision of the vessel’s technical dealings.<br />
Dec 2008<br />
It is actually fair to say that, except for<br />
crew management, which for all vessels<br />
is of course with <strong>Marlow</strong> / Marcrew,<br />
and chartering activities, MSD takes care<br />
of nearly all matters which the ships in<br />
our management may encounter.<br />
The first step is usually sending out the<br />
responsible superintendent to the yard a<br />
few weeks prior to the scheduled take<br />
over of the new buildings. It is his<br />
responsibility that all the owners interests<br />
are taken up and that both the vessel and<br />
her crew are ready for the challenges to<br />
come. Simultaneously the office is working<br />
on the registration of the vessel in the<br />
German register and designated bareboat<br />
register accordingly.<br />
After the vessel has been delivered and<br />
fixed into the charter, our day to day job<br />
of effectively running the vessel in close<br />
cooperation with the owners begins. Additionally<br />
to monitoring the vessels technically,<br />
assisting should there be any<br />
problems and arranging for the necessary<br />
supplies and spares to be ordered and delivered,<br />
we also insure the vessels, liaise<br />
with charterers, prepare quarterly management<br />
reports for our clients and support<br />
both the vessel and the owners in<br />
case of insurance claims.<br />
