Draftline manages the full operating life of dry bulk tonnage — crewing, technical upkeep, chartering, and compliance — so owners carry cargo, not paperwork.
Six disciplines, one master file per vessel — technical, commercial, and human, run to the same standard across the fleet.
Planned maintenance, dry-docking, class surveys, spares procurement, and budget control across every hull in the fleet.
Chartering, voyage estimating, freight settlement, and post-fixture support to keep tonnage earning and disputes rare.
Recruitment, certification tracking, rotation planning, and welfare support for officers and ratings under MLC 2006.
ISM/ISPS compliance, internal audits, and vetting-inspection readiness ahead of charterer and terminal screening.
Site teams at the yard from steel-cutting to delivery, protecting specification, schedule, and warranty position.
Hull & machinery, P&I correspondence, and cargo-claim handling from first notice through to closed file.
Every hold is cleaned, surveyed, and certified to the cargo it's about to take — no residue claims, no rejected loading.
Every vessel operates under a single Document of Compliance and a fleet-wide safety management system audited to ISM. Vetting inspections are scheduled before charterers ask for them, not after.
Handysize through Capesize — sized to trade routes, not fitted into one standard hull.
