“Baumarine by MaruKlav, more than just your earnings manager!”
Masashi Kobayashi, Deputy Managing Director of MaruKlav
Masashi Kobayashi, Deputy Managing Director of MaruKlav, shares his experience of fostering collaboration and strengthening partnerships, in a highly competitive Panamax market, to deliver added value to Pool members.
Pool member First Steamship Co., Ltd. was experiencing struggles to manage Chinese crews aboard their vessels in a particularly chaotic COVID-19 period. Through close and continuous communications between First Steamship and Baumarine by MaruKlav, we detected their challenges and proposed a solution. We thought of Pool member, Meiji Shipping Group, who have not only shipowning companies but also first-class technical management and crew manning companies in their group, MMS Co., Ltd, and arranged a web meeting introducing MMS Co., Ltd to First Steamship.
Following the meeting, we facilitated several productive discussions between both parties, First Steamship, recognizing the quality of MMS Co., Ltd.’s crew manning services, decided to procure Filipino crews for four vessels.
Mr. Roger Chuang, Chief Operation Officer of First Steamship says, "I am grateful to Baumarine by MaruKlav for not only operating our vessel and giving earning opportunities but also seriously supporting for the shipowner's troubles and pains."
Mr. Fujii, Managing Director of MK Centennial Maritime BV (Meiji Shipping Group) added, "we are indeed grateful for suggestions from Baumarine by MaruKlav and always thankful for their full continuous support. We feel it is very important for the team to be strong and do believe that the cooperation among shipowners through Baumarine by MaruKlav will only strengthen the team."
Masashi Kobayashi, Deputy Managing Director of MaruKlav added, “this is a wonderful example of the possibility of building cooperative relationships among members through Baumarine by MaruKlav, and we, Baumarine by MaruKlav, will continue to strive to provide added value wherever possible to each member.”
Stronger Together!
