Our Team

SVC Marine is built around a practical maritime team that works onboard vessels, at ports, anchorages, shipyards, terminals and industrial cargo sites in Vietnam and regional markets.

Our team combines shipbroking, vessel operation, owner’s representative work, drydock supervision, afloat repair, port attendance, cargo operation attendance, lashing workforce, floating crane work, marine technical attendance and ship management experience.

SVC Marine is not a desk-only broker. We are paid to handle real maritime work: inspect, attend, negotiate, supervise, mobilize manpower, control vendors, report to owners and get the job done on site.

Our field work covers vessel sale and purchase, vessel sourcing, pre-purchase inspection, drydock, ship repair, port captaincy, shipping, vessel chartering, cargo lashing, floating crane work, marine supply and technical attendance in Vietnam.

Management & Marine Field Team

SVC Marine works with maritime professionals across Vietnam, the Middle East, Turkey and regional shipping markets. Our team structure gives clients both commercial shipping access and practical people on the ground in Vietnam.

Our work is built around field execution. When a vessel, cargo, repair job or drydock project needs attention in Vietnam, our team can attend the site, speak with the vessel, follow port or yard matters, mobilize our local team, control vendors and report practical job status to the client.

Shipbroking & Commercial Shipping Team

SVC Marine’s commercial team handles vessel sale and purchase, vessel sourcing, buyer requirement screening, vessel chartering, freight negotiation and cargo movement from Vietnam.

Our commercial work is linked with field knowledge. Before a vessel, cargo or freight option is presented to a client, we look at practical issues such as vessel condition, class status, drydock date, cargo gear, trading area, port feasibility, cargo handling method and possible cost exposure.

For vessel chartering and shipping, this means SVC Marine does more than pass a freight number. We check whether the vessel can perform the cargo work, whether the port operation is realistic, and whether local field services such as lashing, floating crane, survey or repair attendance may be required.

Key Focus Areas

  • Ship sale and purchase
  • Vessel sourcing for buyers
  • Pre-purchase vessel inspection
  • Vessel chartering
  • Freight negotiation
  • Bulk, breakbulk and project cargo shipping
  • Shipping from Vietnamese ports
  • Owner-side transaction follow-up

Technical Field Team & Repair Network

SVC Marine works with a practical technical field team in Vietnam, including ship repair personnel, welding and fabrication teams, marine service vendors, diving teams, spare parts sources, ship chandlers and port service providers.

For steel repair and hot work projects, SVC Marine can mobilize experienced welding and fabrication teams, including certified welders with international industrial project experience in refinery, oil and gas and large-scale construction projects in the Middle East.

Our technical field team is used for real jobs onboard, at anchorage, in shipyards and at Vietnamese ports. The work may include inspection, troubleshooting, steel repair, pipe work, machinery repair, underwater inspection, LSA/FFE/radio service attendance, spare parts delivery and repair supervision.

Field Work May Include

  • Ship repair and onboard attendance teams
  • Certified welding and fabrication teams
  • Steel repair, pipe welding and hot work
  • Machinery and engine room repair follow-up
  • Underwater inspection and hull cleaning teams
  • LSA, FFE and radio service attendance
  • Marine spare parts and ship supply work
  • Vietnam port and shipyard service execution
  • Class and surveyor follow-up where required

All hot work, diving, class-related work, statutory service and safety-sensitive attendance remain subject to vessel, port, yard, class, flag and safety approval.

Cargo Lashing Team in Son Duong and Vung Ang

SVC Marine has a cargo lashing workforce of nearly 200 people operating around the Son Duong – Vung Ang area. This is an important field base for project cargo, steel cargo, heavy equipment, breakbulk cargo and industrial cargo operations in central Vietnam.

For selected cargo operations, SVC Marine mobilizes our local lashing team for manpower, dunnage, chocking, chain lashing, wire lashing, turnbuckle tightening, welding-related securing work where permitted, survey follow-up and job reporting.

This lashing capacity allows SVC Marine to take on larger cargo securing jobs that require real manpower, fast mobilization and practical site control instead of only making phone calls from an office.

Lashing Work May Include

  • Project cargo lashing
  • Heavy equipment securing
  • Steel cargo dunnage and securing
  • Breakbulk cargo lashing
  • Chain and wire lashing
  • Timber chocking and dunnage
  • Turnbuckle tightening
  • Welding-related sea fastening where permitted
  • Surveyor, master and chief officer follow-up where required
  • Photo records and job reporting

Port Attendance, Floating Crane and Cargo Operation Team

SVC Marine attends selected cargo operations at Vietnamese ports and anchorages. This may include vessel-side attendance, cargo operation reporting, port captaincy attendance, draft survey or bunker survey work, surveyor follow-up, floating crane work, lashing team attendance and marine technical attendance.

For vessel crane failure cases, SVC Marine can work on two tracks at the same time: hire a suitable floating crane to keep the cargo operation moving, and send personnel onboard where possible to inspect the vessel crane issue, check practical repair direction and report to the shipowner or charterer.

This combination of shipping, crane work, lashing manpower and technical attendance is a key part of SVC Marine’s field capability in Vietnam.

Port and Cargo Operation Work May Include

  • Port captaincy attendance
  • Cargo operation reporting
  • Draft survey or bunker survey attendance
  • Floating crane services
  • Vessel crane and cargo gear issue follow-up
  • Lashing and securing team attendance
  • Surveyor and inspection attendance
  • Vendor control for urgent port or cargo matters
  • Vessel-side reporting to shipowners, charterers and cargo interests

How Our Team Works for Clients

SVC Marine’s team structure covers the full vessel and cargo cycle: sourcing, inspection, purchase, delivery, repair, drydock, port attendance, shipping, vessel chartering and cargo operation.

  • Commercial side: vessel sourcing, ship sale and purchase, buyer and seller discussions, freight negotiation, fixture terms and delivery follow-up.
