Technical
Owner-side field attendance for drydock, ship repair, vessel inspection, delivery, class items and technical projects in Vietnam.
SVC Marine attends the vessel, verifies actual progress, follows pending items, controls vendor communication and reports practical facts to the owner - not just messages between parties.
Work packages
Attendance at the vessel, shipyard and port on the owner's instructions, with technical reporting, deficiency tracking and handover attendance.
01
An owner’s representative attends a vessel, shipyard, port or anchorage on behalf of the owner to verify actual progress, follow technical and commercial issues, record evidence, report decision-ready facts and protect the owner’s interest during drydock, repair, inspection, delivery or technical projects. SVC Marine provides this owner-side field attendance in Vietnam.
Our work covers drydock attendance, ship repair follow-up, vessel inspection, delivery and handover attendance, class survey item follow-up, vendor control, repair progress tracking, cost exposure review, photo records and direct owner-side reporting.
Our role is practical and field-based. We do not replace the vessel’s class society, flag administration, insurer, maritime lawyer, statutory service provider or the owner’s final decision-making authority. We represent the owner’s interest on site and provide factual information for technical and commercial decisions.
When the owner is not there
02
In drydock, ship repair, vessel purchase, delivery and technical projects, owners need someone on the ground who reads both technical execution and commercial risk - and reports facts.

Each mandate covers what happens on site, what SVC checks, and what the owner receives.
The vessel is in drydock, shipyard, berth-side repair, anchorage repair or a technical repair period.

Owner’s representative for vessel buyers
06
Buyers often need local technical and operational attendance before and after signing a Memorandum of Agreement - especially when the buyer is not physically present in Vietnam.
This is useful when the buyer needs a local field team to work with seller, broker, shipyard, agent, crew, class and port-related parties, then move directly into delivery, drydock and post-purchase technical preparation.
