With the situation at hand, we understand that your ability to lay-up your vessels in a safe and efficient location in readiness for the reactivation of the market is a key success factor in weathering this period. Hence, we pledge to support you and your crew in the following ways: 

Providing info on Hot Lay-Up locations and availability

Several countries have closed their ports and territorial waters to cruise vessels, causing a limited number of options for hot lay-ups. We’ll provide you an overview of the shifting situation with critical information via our interactive, digital map which you can embed within your company’s intranet portal.

Virtual support for crew from the local community 

As a former seafarer, my thoughts go out to the crew onboard who may be feeling isolated as restrictions are put into place to encourage social distancing. The importance of crew health and welfare is something that must not to be forgotten during this period and we are establishing local partnerships for virtual religious and befriender services that are essential for your crew’s welfare and mental well-being.

Ethical business practices

Our assurance to you is our integrity in upholding ethical business practices – this means we will not condone any exploitation of the situation to inflate prices exorbitantly and/or reduce quality of service. This extends to our carefully curated supplier network to ensure we are aligned on this.

In a time like this, our company values have never been more important. With a special focus on stewardship and fair business practices, we will ensure that we are doing our bit for the industry by supporting you and your crew. We are your partner in port, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
