Spinning off manning for operating efficiency

In the post-pandemic economy, the global shipping industry outlook appears optimistic as dry bulk and container shipping witness a slow but steady recovery. Vessel operators are going to benefit from a partial rebound in demand as trade resumes in fits and starts. Of course, shipping could remain vulnerable to occasional shocks, and periods of trade protectionism and trade sanctions. All these point towards a rise in operating costs. Unicrew Management is firmly placed in demonstrating to owners and operators that opportunities exist even in such challenging times. Medium and small owners can continue to protect their bottom line by forward planning and outsourcing some of their volatile cost centres to reliable partners with proven expertise. Unicrew sees major opportunity in post-pandemic shipping as small and medium owners look to replace big legacy costs with innovative manning solutions. Few companies were prepared for the crew change crisis that following the global outbreak of Coronavirus, and fewer still have workable plans to avoid steep crew costs in the face of outright refusal by charterers to share the crew change costs. We provide a pipeline out of this logjam by ensuring our crew are prepared to bear the hardships for the temporary period.
