AVGM’s approach to shipmanagement focuses on helping ship owner clients navigate the complex regulatory, technological and sustainability challenges the industry is facing.

AVGM believes the partnership model is the best approach for those owners seeking to future-proof their businesses. The model allows clients to build and sustain competitive advantage and generate long-term value by leveraging AVGM’s ability to accurately and rapidly apply its technical and technological expertise to turn challenges into opportunities. AVGM prioritises each client’s needs, providing top quality and optimally efficient solutions, crafted to meet all requirements in management, building, converting, or recycling.

These end goals are met through constant innovation and AVGM’s four-pillar strategy to:

AVGM’s current fleet illustrates its ability to handle a wide variety of vessels. It includes complex LNG vessels, LNG-FSU conversions, LNG-to-power solutions, LPG carriers and chemical tankers, VLCCs, Suezmax, Aframax, LR2, LR1 and MR tankers, Car Carriers, container ships from 2,000 to 20,000 TEU and Cape, Kamsarmax, Panamax, Handymax and Handysize bulk carriers.

Motivated and competent crew are the cornerstones of safe and efficient shipboard operations. AVGM Maritime Recruitment Services Pte Limited manages a pool of experienced officers and ratings, all highly trained and committed to our company, vessels, and clients’ needs. Crew welfare and retention are priorities, and we implement strong policies and procedures to ensure high standards are achieved and maintained. We operate a careful and thorough screening and recruitment process to ensure the best candidates for all vessel trades and types. Our vastly experienced team has a wealth of experience and is driven by our core values of empathy, integrity, and transparency in delivering a personal and professional service.

Our centralised Procurement Department plays a vital role in the technical management of our managed fleet. We have long-standing relationships with leading suppliers, shipyards and repair workshops to ensure that our owners consistently receive reliable and high-quality services at competitive prices.

Whether routine or unplanned, a vessel’s dry docking will ordinarily be an owner’s largest aggregate annual cost item, so organisation and management are vital. AVGM’s ship technical management team ensures optimal planning, pricing and coordination among all the vessel’s stakeholders, thus maximising quality, minimising downtime and achieving the tightest cost control. Long experience and liaison with shipyards worldwide means lower costs and swifter turnaround, with accumulated knowledge continually and transparently reinvested for owners’ and operators’ benefit, thus progressively lessening manpower and resource demand in planning for both docking and resumption of service. The highest standards in project management minimise unplanned cost, and rapid, frequent and accurate reporting further expedite a smooth and efficient return to operations.

We believe in detailed financial reporting and full transparency in managing your assets, with focus on simple, technology-enabled, and compliant accounting procedures that are easy to understand, adopt and implement. Our Vessel Accounting Team also promotes our own economic health by providing leadership in the development and execution of sound fiscal policies. Through highly experienced and qualified personnel, the Team continually provides all ship performance information and accounting, allowing owners to monitor operations and maintain close control. This is achieved by in-house operating, financial and management voyage accounting systems and purchasing controls that cover all aspects of operations and provide proper accounting of vessel performance and revenue management. We have trained professionals familiar with critical corporate governance standards like the International Standards of Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 300.
