Technical Management

A History of Technical Excellence

Bibby Ship Management can draw on 200 years of marine experience in offshore vessels, jack up rigs, oil, chemical and gas tankers, bulk, container and other specialised tonnage. We offer customers a tailor made service to suit their specific requirements, including plan approvals, build supervision, sale and delivery and full vessel operational management incorporating crewing, purchasing, insurance, surveys and accident investigation.

As part of our comprehensive service, we allocate Technical Superintendents to groups of vessels to monitor the operation, performance and condition of the vessels by:

  • Regular condition assessments and performance monitoring
  • Planned and projected maintenance
  • Dry dock planning and supervision
  • Surveys, certification and vetting

In addition to the above, our Technical Superintendents and Marine Consultants take care of repairs and dockings, new building, plan approval and supervision as well as Flag and Class liaison.

Safety, Health, Environmental Protection and Quality – the central pillars of our management philosophy.

Our main objective is to work in partnership with our clients to optimise their operational efficiency, whilst ensuring that the highest standards of safety, health, environmental protection and quality are met and maintained.

We have extensive experience within the oil and gas industry, where the highest safety standards are demanded. This experience in numerous offshore sectors throughout the world enables us to adhere to stringent safety standards across our managed whole fleet.

Your safety is our priority and our safety culture is based on three tenets:

  • Commitment
  • Competence
  • Continuity

With these tenets in place, we maximise the efficiency of your shipboard operations, ensuring those working on board your vessel understand their safety is our priority.

Our robust management system which is fully compliant to SOLAS chapter IX (ISM Code) and Chapter XI (ISPS) Code and ISO 9001-2000 accredited is approved by, amongst others, the governments of United Kingdom, Isle of Man, Cayman Islands, Panama, Hong Kong and Bahamas. Annual Document of Compliance audits ensure that our high standards are maintained and verified.

To ensure our seafarers and ship managers are provided with, and maintain the competence required to carry out their duties, we retain an in-house Fleet Training Manager. We can therefore provide clients with advice on both mandatory and non-statutory training, thereby fulfilling your specific requirements.

Emergency Contingency Response Planning
Our Response Planning ensures ‘what-if’ scenarios (including media response) are considered and continuously exercised and evaluated. Regular table-top exercises are held, which involve both vessel and our designated crisis management team ashore. This ensures that all our teams are fully conversant with the response plan and can react, if necessary, to protect life, the environment and your asset.
