Fairwind Shipping - Marine Consultancy and Support

Fairwind Shipping

Fairwind Shipping was established in June 1983 as an independent company providing a wide range of marine consultancy and support functions, including commercial strategic advice and management for the purpose of resolving any problems with the minimum of exposure and expenditure.

Company Profile

Our prime role was to assist shipping departments, loan officers and recovery departments with the work overload always associated with problem situations. We provided both independent advice and a management service.

In addition to providing analytical and planning support, Fairwind also provided full commercial and operational management to those organisations who voluntarily or involuntarily came into ownership of a vessel.

The use of our commercial management services left the owner, or investor flexible to divest at any time without the cost and conflicts imposed by the presence of an in-house office - Fees not Overheads!

Fairwind managed and/or advised upon hundreds of vessels including VLCC's, Capesize, OBO's, Handy sized bulk carriers, Mini bulkers, chemical tankers, ferries, cruise vessels, offshore drilling rigs and container vessels.

Our main concern was to bring practical shipowning experience to assist clients with any shipping related problems in order to generate the best solution and optimise profit.
