Fleet Management
Our Fleet Management department is responsible for the day-to-day technical and crew management of the Utkilen vessels. This includes responsibility for the vessel’s technical standard as well as manning them with experienced and qualified crew. Vessel Managers coordinate repairs, maintenance and class/authority issues and are the main focal point between ship and shore for technical matters.
The Crewing Dept handle recruitment, training and rotation of our well qualified crew colleagues onboard, whilst the Purchasing department arrange consumables and spares of good quality through our logistical network.
Our Project Department is monitoring new technical solutions such as energy saving devices, and is constantly working to prepare our fleet for a future with evermore stricter expectations towards efficiency and safety. Together these departments represent the full range of services needed to manage the Utkilen vessels in a safe and effective manner, meeting expectations from customers, authorities and owners.
