TransMarine Management ApS

Transmarine Tankers ApS was founded and commenced business in December 1982, primarily as a Ship Management Company for external clients.

The Company also offers Management Services in financial and shipping related activities and is based in Copenhagen, Denmark.

In August 1986 the Company name was changed to TRANSMARINE MANAGEMENT ApS in order to more clearly define the Marine Management function.

The Company acts solely as Ship Managers/Agents to clients (Owners or Charterer’s of ships) and operates a policy whereby it is financially independent from its clients. It is not involved in part-ownership or other financial investments in clients and/or their vessels and by the same token Clients have no vested interests in Transmarine Management ApS.

The management of the vessels is carried out on a strict contractual basis for an agreed fee. A standard BIMCO approved contract form is normally used.

The economic responsibility of the vessel is borne solely by the owner/timecharterer. Eventual sea-going personnel are employed directly by the clients (owners) and also paid by them, as are stores, bunkers, port costs, provisions, spares and repairs etc.

Funds are provided by the respective clients who in turn give Transmarine Management ApS power-of-attorney to handle the payments of day to day operational and running costs.

Being a small organisation means flexibility, short communication lines and the ability to act fast and swiftly.

The ship management services can include but are not limited to:

Supply of provisions, stores and spare parts
Registration, Classification and Flag state certification
Technical management, Safety management, Time Charter management
Legal and Insurance assistance
Operation of vessels
Bunkering arrangement
Demurrage calculations, invoicing an follow up/collecting
