Kuwait Oil & Gas Company provide specialized Marine Consultancy services. Our Marine Consultancy services covers a wide range of expertise in the new building sector and has undertaken various new construction projects including VLCCs, Container vessels, Bulk carriers and Chemical tankers at major China, Japanese and Korean shipyards.
Underpinning our adeptness 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.
More than allocating the best-su ited superintendent to a ship, we take special interest to maintain a good superintendent / vessel allocation ratio to ensure vessels under his charge get prompt attention at all times. It is this commitment from RMWEC that assures every vessel's operating requirements are met and vessel operating condition is always at its peak working synergistically with our superintendents is our computerized Planned Maintenance System that allows for close monitoring and timely vessel maintenance. The sustained optimal vessel performance and cost savings that result demonstrates the quality of our technical management services.
At United Ship Management, we recognize the value of deploying seafarers who are well-trained and certified in accordance with STCW 2010 and the ISM Code. Our primary concern is to deliver safe, efficient, high quality, ethical and cost effective ship management solutions that satisfy our customers. Our crew recruitment and training ventures, in India, China, Myanmar and the Philippines, proactively develop our very own Quality Seafarers to meet our concern.
To us, purchasing is more than a process of acquiring supplies. It is procuring the best quality goods and services at the most economical price. Through tapping on our global purchasing experience, and our network of highly reliable suppliers, we actively negotiate for favorable frame agreements and consolidate volume purchase. As a result, we are not only able to secure attractive pricing on a range of supplies, including spare parts, lubricating oil, paints and provisions, we are also able to adopt a holistic perspective to inventory control – maximizing savings for our principals. Furthermore, our computerized purchasing system, fully integrated with our Planned Maintenance System on board vessels, assures that incidents of over-stocking are minimized.
We have a team of skilled, competent and dedicated Marine Engineers and Naval Architects with proven track record in project management and site supervision of new ship construction. We carry out detailed review of the yard specifications and provide Owners with our comments to the Hull, Paint Coating, Machinery and Electrical systems. This review is made against Owners requirements, best industry practices and incorporating Goodwood's operational experience gained through managing similar vessel type. Our comments would also be useful for owners' in their negotiations with the yard to upgrade the quality of the vessel.
The four main phases of the New Building Supervision would cover the following:
Commissioning and Sea Trials
Our Site Manager is responsible for liaison with the yard on all aspects of the construction programme and to ensure that the vessel is delivered to the agreed specifications, standards and quality. Owners are provided with weekly and monthly progress reports which covers the status of steel construction, surface preparation & coating, machinery, piping, electrical installation and outfitting works.
The site team will closely monitor the yard's daily tests schedule to ensure that various equipment & systems are tested and proven to meet the specifications and class requirements. Commissioning and Sea Trials would be carried out to owners' satisfaction and kept fully informed as to whether the performance of the vessel and its systems has met with the agreed contractual specifications. We will also liaise with the builder on any further outstanding matters and take delivery of all documents and final drawings for dispatch to owners.
