Husbandry services are a comprehensive set of support functions aimed at addressing the needs of a vessel and its crew while in port. These services ensure that everything required for smooth and efficient operations is provided during the vessel’s stay, helping to minimize delays and disruptions. The scope of husbandry services can range from crew management and logistics to medical assistance and vessel maintenance, all tailored to support the operational and comfort needs of the crew and vessel.
At B&G Maritime, we pride ourselves on offering a full spectrum of Husbandry Services to ensure the well-being of your vessel and crew while in port, as well as maintaining the operational efficiency of your vessel. Below are the key services we offer:
Crew Change Services
We provide full assistance for crew changes, ensuring that everything runs smoothly when crew members arrive or depart. This includes:
- Airport Arrivals and Departures: We handle all aspects of the crew’s travel, from arrival to departure, ensuring that there are no hiccups.
- Local Transportation: Organizing transportation for crew members to and from the port, including any necessary shuttle services.
- Hotel Accommodation: Arranging hotel stays for crew members while they are ashore, providing comfort and convenience.
- Crew Boats: Ensuring the provision of crew boats for transfers between the port and the vessel.
In addition, we manage the necessary invitation letters and visa applications, as well as temporary work permits for marine crew and technicians, ensuring all legal requirements are met.
Cash Advances (CTM)
Our services include the provision of cash advances to the Master at a fair and agreed-upon rate. This ensures that there is always access to cash for operational needs while in port, which is essential for handling any unexpected costs or emergencies that may arise.
Spare Parts and Customs Procedures
We assist in the coordination of spare parts delivery and ensure that all necessary customs procedures are followed for the safe transport of the parts to the vessel. This service minimizes downtime, ensuring that critical components are delivered swiftly and efficiently.
Stores Supplies
We provide and manage the supply of stores, which includes all necessary provisions such as food, water, and other consumables required by the vessel and crew. This includes everything from everyday items to more specialized provisions, ensuring that the vessel is always ready for its next leg of the journey.
Workshops and Repairs
Our husbandry services also cover the organization of workshops and repairs needed on board. We coordinate with local contractors and technicians to carry out necessary maintenance, ensuring that any mechanical or operational issues are resolved promptly to avoid delays.
Medical Assistance
We understand the importance of the crew’s health and safety. Our medical assistance services provide immediate support for any health issues or emergencies, ensuring that medical help is available when needed. We also help arrange for any necessary medical evacuations or consultations if required.
Garbage/Sludge Removal
Vessels often generate garbage, sludge, and other waste products that need to be removed efficiently. Our team coordinates the removal of garbage and sludge, ensuring that the vessel meets environmental regulations and maintains cleanliness during its stay in port.
Fresh Water Supply
We arrange the provision of fresh water for vessels, ensuring that there is a sufficient supply for the crew and for any other operational needs. This service is especially important for vessels on longer journeys or those that are at port for extended periods.
