Everything you Need for Commercial Shipping Success
UNCTAD, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, estimates that at least 80% of global trade relies upon the commercial shipping sector. If this is the sector in which you work, you will know the vast extent of logistics it entails and how complex they can be to manage successfully.
Bachmann Group has been established for 50 years, during which time we have continually improved and extended our range of services. Today, commercial shipping operations of all types, sizes and functions utilise our services, helping them to navigate this dynamic, challenging industry. We can enable your commercial shipping operation to reach its full potential, saving you time, money and resources.
Commercial shipping services from Bachmann Group are renowned for their reliability and trustworthiness. We work strictly in line with our ISO 9001 certification, which proves our strong commitment to delivering excellence in every area. We also adhere rigidly with all aspects of the International safety Management Code.
Bachmann Group is an active member of many prestigious organisations from the UK Chamber of Shipping to the British Marine Federation. We are fully MLC compliant and have a Statement of Compliance Certificate from Lloyds Register. In conjunction with these bodies and many other highly-regarded associate companies, we are able to provide services of the absolute highest standard.
We pride ourselves on designing, developing and implementing unique, entirely-bespoke service packages based on the correspondingly-unique needs and goals of each individual client. Our commercial shipping services fall broadly into six primary categories.
- Total Crew Management. Managing marine personnel is complex and this part of our service offers the full package. We look after every aspect, from recruiting exceptional crew members and creating schedules to monitoring leave, providing cover when needed and even supplying uniforms and equipment. Training can be arranged where necessary and we can deal with crew welfare requirements and marine travel. If you need it, we can provide it.
- Payroll Management. Managing payroll is often cited as being one of the most difficult and time-consuming tasks when it comes to commercial shipping. As a specialist, BACS-approved payroll bureau, we employ only the best in this sector, handling thousands of payments each month using award-winning payroll software.
- Provision of Temporary Seafarers. Issues with crew that occur unexpectedly at the last minute can be seriously damaging to commercial shipping operations. We currently supply well over 800 temporary seafarers to shipping companies all over the world with a minimum of fuss and delay.
- Recruitment. Any commercial shipping operation is only as good as its crew. Bachmann Group boasts a database comprising more than 20,000 skilled candidates, from which we can select the best to suit your needs before seamlessly integrating them.
- Ship Management. Any vessel can be operated smoothly with our ship management services. Working closely with flag states, port states and classification societies, we can provide technical and marine superintendent services for any project or application.
- Consultancy. We can deliver expert commercial modelling and evaluation services to commercial shipping operations as well as operating vessels in technical capacities and ports from legal aspects.
If you work in commercial shipping then we guarantee that we can improve the way you operate. Find out more on our website or by contacting our team and please subscribe to our newsletter to stay up to date with all the latest news from Bachmann Group.
