WHY OWNERS USE GT

Large-fleet management discipline for independent vessel owners.

When actions sit across the Owner, Master, Superintendent, agents, vendors and service providers, important items can become difficult to see until they are urgent.

Global Tangent provides the shoreside management layer that keeps responsibilities visible, assigned and moving — while the Owner retains control and the Master retains overriding authority for vessel safety.

Technical ControlPMS, defects, repair planning, spares and vendor follow-up.
Crew ReadinessSafe manning, certificates, medicals and expiry tracking.

HOW IT WORKS

Start with one vessel for 90 days.

FAQ

Common questions from vessel owners.

Are you taking over management of my vessel?

No. The initial engagement provides management support, monitoring, coordination and owner visibility within an agreed scope. Formal statutory or ship-management responsibilities are only assumed if specifically agreed.

Can we start with only one vessel?

Yes. That is the preferred starting point.

What if I already have a superintendent or technical team?

Global Tangent can provide overflow capacity, exception tracking, owner assurance and structured reporting around your existing team.

Do you attend the vessel?

Physical attendance can be included where required and is quoted separately.

What happens after 90 days?

You can stop and keep the roadmap, continue with a Vessel Assurance Desk, upgrade to Managed Operations, or agree a deeper integrated management arrangement.
