MARINE CONSULTANCY • SHIP DELIVERY • NEWBUILDING SUPERVISION • SEATRIALS
Having a new ship built? Planning a major rebuilding for your vessel? Dou you have the know how and/or the manpower to supervise the project? No? Or do you need to get your brand new vessel from the building yard to it's homeport? We can arrange it for you.
Our team has years of experience in supervising the construction of general cargo vessels, containerfeeders and tugboats.
Ofcourse will quality shipyards deliver sound ships and will your superintendent(s) and the surveyors of the classification society make sure they vessel is equipped and built according the latest rules and regulations, But only when there is constant supervision from the date the keel was laid till delivery a lot of trouble can be avoided later on. From bridge equipment installed in the wrong place for the navigator to valves inthe engineroom that can't be overhauled due to another pipeline mounted too close to it, there are numerous small things that will make the difference between a great vessel to sail with or one with non stop problems.
We always work with a team of 2, one Master Mariner and one Chief Engineer, so our experience will cover all.
Tugs or other smaller craft can be delivered by us to their homeport.
In combination with the building supervision we are able to do so at very attractive rates.
For shipyards we can offer our services for seatrials.
We work standard with a Captain and a mate as most days of seatrial tend to be long, for
a short testrun it is possible we will provide only a captain. If required we can deliver a full crew.
Our services cover a wide range of subjects. It ranges from cargo related matters, services rendered as cargo superintendents, arranging transport for a yacht by freighter (plus delivery service to loading port/ from discharging port) , to newbuilding supervision , voyage preparation, ship delivery and also pilotage in a few specific locations.
ARA range. Most of our services can be rendered anywhere, but our headoffice in Hellevoetsluis is in particular well situated to perform certain services on short notice in ports in the vicinity. We can perform pre loading inspections on vessels to perfect stowageplans and avoid surprises during loading when a vessel has already been fixed.
SE Asia. From our branch office near Laem Chabang in Thailand we can easily offer the exact same services.
Besides the cargo related inspections we can also perform a first inspection for potential new owners or time charterers of a vessel.
So far we have frequently had the pleasure to sail with brandnew vessels during their seatrials. From multi purpose containerfeeders and a general cargo vessel in the Black Sea to various megayachts built by the famous Dutch yards on the Northsea and the Waddensea.
Our experience with various types of propulsion guarantee we can provide the same for all type of tugs (SD,VS, RT ) , dredgers and offshore vessels. Don't hestitate to call us, we'll be glad to help test any vessel to your satisfaction.
PILOTAGE NETHERLANDS
We provide pilotage for vessels in the Rotterdam - Moerdijk range for vessels exempt from using a compulsory pilot ( various containerfeeders we hold a PEC for, so called 'BiBu' vessels and vessels less than 50 m loa coming from sea) . For (large) yachts we can provide the same service including small ports like Hellevoetsluis and any destination in the delta area.
PILOTAGE UK
Pilotage can be provided for a number of ships larger than 90 m in de Thames Estuary / Medway (Area's 1& 4). Any cargo vessel / yacht less than 90 m can be taken up to the Warp's pilot station or any of the sheltered anchorages in the area. Not confident to do it yourself, you can always call us. We have made hundreds of voyages in the area.
NORTHSEA PILOTAGE
New! From now on we will also provide Northsea pilotage on request for any size of vessel. Many vessels and (more important) their crew usually trade in a whole other part of the world. Masters might feel reluctant to navigate the busy Dover strait and the approaches to the busy NW European ports on their own, inparticular when their vessel has to be navigated through the narrow DW routes due to their draft. We can board your vessel in any Channel or Northsea port or by launch off Cherbourg. Our services are rendered at an attractive rate, however we do require a weeks notice to make the necessary arrangements.
