Interim Fleet Management: What It Is and Why It Matters 

Managing a fleet of vessel is a complex and time-consuming task and involves the management of all aspects of a ship or a fleet of ships.

This includes their maintenance, operation, regulatory compliance, crewing, and financial performance. Fleet managers have a lot on their plate, and sometimes, unforeseen circumstances arise that make managing a fleet even more challenging, such as unexpected personnel changes, equipment breakdowns, or sudden changes in the vessels operational planning. In these situations, interim fleet management can be a lifesaver.

What is interim fleet management? 

Interim fleet management refers to the temporary management of a fleet by an external provider, typically for a period of several weeks to several months. It is a flexible and scalable solution that can help organizations quickly address changes in their fleet management needs, without having to invest in additional staff or resources.

Interim fleet management services can include:

  • Fleet analysis and optimization:
    A comprehensive review of a fleet's operations, utilization, and costs, with recommendations for improvement.
  • Fleet procurement:
    Assistance with vessel acquisition or selling, including negotiation and delivery.
  • Maintenance and repair management:
    Oversight of all aspects of maintenance and repair, from scheduling and budgeting to execution.
  • Crew management:
    Management of crew schedules, training, and compliance.
  • Purchase management:
    Management of purchases and other expenses associated with vessel operations.

Why is interim fleet management important? 

Interim fleet management can be a valuable tool for organizations in a number of situations, including:

  • Rapid growth:
    If your business suddenly experiences a surge in demand that requires additional vessels, interim fleet management can help you quickly ramp up your fleet to meet the new demand.
  • Staff changes:
    If your fleet manager leaves unexpectedly or is temporarily unable to work, interim fleet management can ensure that your fleet continues to operate smoothly and efficiently.
  • Personnel demands:
    If your team of personnel is understaffed due and one or more of your vessels are out of commission due to mechanical problems or planned maintenance such as dry-docking and modifications, interim fleet management can help you prepare and execute your projects and keep your fleet running smoothly while the repairs are being made.

Interim fleet management can also provide organizations with access to specialized expertise and technology that may not be available in-house. For example, an interim fleet manager may have advanced data analytics tools that can help identify areas for cost savings, or a network of preferred vendors that can provide better pricing on purchases and repairs.

In summary, interim fleet management is a flexible and scalable solution that can help organizations quickly adapt to changes in their fleet management needs. By providing access to specialized expertise and technology, interim fleet management can help organizations optimize their fleet operations, reduce costs, and improve efficiency.
