Technical ship management
The vessel, in expert hands.
Superintendence, planned maintenance, drydocking, Class and Flag liaison, machinery reliability and fuel diagnostics, run as one accountable service for the owner.
01 · Scope
What technical management covers
Six disciplines handled together, so nothing falls between owner, crew and yard.
- 01
Superintendence
A named superintendent attends the vessel and works with master and chief engineer.
- 02
Planned maintenance
Every recurring job scheduled by hours or interval and recorded.
- 03
Drydocking
Specification, yard, surveys and close-out in one controlled project.
- 04
Class and Flag liaison
Surveys, certificates and conditions managed with the societies.
- 05
Machinery reliability
Performance trends acted on before they become breakdowns.
- 06
Fuel diagnostics
Consumption and performance reviewed to find efficiency losses.
02 · In depth
Four ways we look after a ship
Someone who attends and decides
A superintendent represents the owner on board and ashore, as described in the Nanak technical management service.
- Attendance and condition reports
- Defect follow-up with the crew
- Owner-side decisions made quickly
Trends, not surprises
Running hours, performance readings and overhaul history are reviewed together to spot wear early.
- Overhaul intervals planned
- Condition data reviewed
- Spares ordered ahead of need
Efficiency you can see
Fuel consumption is reviewed against speed and loading so losses from fouling, machinery or trim are found.
- Consumption review
- Link to SEEMP Part III and CII
- Reporting under IMO DCS
One clear picture
Owners get a regular, plain report covering condition, maintenance done, upcoming surveys and costs.
- Plain-language reports
- Survey and docking calendar
- Cost visibility
03 · Maintenance
Planned work, done on time
Technical management is built on a planned maintenance system. See how a schedule is set out, then try the interactive board on our maintenance page.
- Jobs scheduled by interval
- Records ready for Class
- Spares linked to jobs
04 · Reporting rhythm
How information reaches you
- 01
Daily
The operations desk handles vessel matters 24/7.
- 02
Per attendance
Superintendent reports after each visit.
- 03
Per voyage
Defects, performance and fuel reviewed.
- 04
Per survey
Class and Flag items tracked and closed.
- 05
Per year
Maintenance and docking plan refreshed.

Technical management questions

Technical ship management covers superintendence, planned maintenance, drydocking, Class and Flag State liaison, machinery reliability and fuel diagnostics for the vessels you own. The full scope is described on the Nanak Ship Management technical management page, and we explain how it applies to your fleet.
A named superintendent works with the master and chief engineer, supported by an operations desk that is staffed 24/7. Nanak Ship Management describes this structure in its technical management service, and you can ask how it would be arranged for your vessel type.
Ship management is carried out under BIMCO SHIPMAN style contracts, which set out the duties of owner and manager clearly. Nanak Ship Management also works to ISO 9001:2015, and you can read more on the Nanak Ship Management home page before discussing terms.
Yes, through the same group. Nanak Ship Management runs STCW and MLC manning with credential vetting, training, welfare, travel and payroll, described on its crew management page, so technical and crew management can be coordinated for one vessel.
It means tracking how engines and auxiliaries actually perform, then acting on trends before they become breakdowns, including fuel consumption diagnostics. It sits alongside superintendence in the technical management scope, and the team can walk you through typical reporting.
Nanak Ship Management quotes an onboarding timeline of 14 to 30 days, depending on vessel type, documents and crew. Share the details through the Nanak Ship Management contact page or call +91 98920 82041, and you get a realistic plan for your case.
