What SVC Marine Does

SVC Marine provides shipping and freight forwarding services in Vietnam for cargo owners, traders, manufacturers, shipowners, charterers and logistics partners who need practical freight execution backed by marine operational knowledge. Our work covers vessel matching, vessel chartering, freight indication, breakbulk cargo, project cargo, bulk cargo, cargo lashing, floating crane arrangement, loading and discharge review, port communication and vessel-side technical attendance where required.

SVC Marine connects commercial freight work with vessel-side execution. We review cargo, vessel, port, crane, hatch, hold, lashing, laycan and loading terms together when planning the shipment.

Scope notice: all cargo, parties, routes and payment structures are subject to case review, vessel availability, port feasibility and compliance screening. SVC Marine does not act as customs authority, port authority, flag administration, insurer, bank, sanctions adviser or maritime lawyer.

Vessel Matching & Chartering Execution

For many cargoes the problem is not only finding a freight rate. The real issue is finding a suitable vessel, suitable hold, suitable crane, suitable loading method, suitable discharge arrangement and clear commercial terms.

Tonnage We Match

  • Mini bulk carrier
  • General cargo vessel / geared general cargo vessel
  • Multipurpose (MPP) vessel
  • Coaster
  • Bulk carrier
  • Part cargo space / voyage charter
  • Barge-supported operation where applicable
  • Container service where suitable

Suitability Factors We Check

Breakbulk · Bulk · Project

  • DWT and cargo volume / stowage factor and cargo density
  • Hold capacity and hold cleanliness
  • Hatch cover condition
  • Cargo gear capacity and crane reliability
  • Shore crane / ship crane / floating crane
  • Port draft, berth or anchorage condition
  • Laycan and cargo readiness
  • Loading / discharge rates, FIOS / FILO / liner terms, demurrage / despatch

Breakbulk, Bulk & Project Cargo from Vietnam

Vietnam cargo does not always fit container shipping. Some cargo is too heavy, too irregular, too bulky, too low-margin for container freight, or more suitable for breakbulk, bulk, MPP or chartered tonnage. For these shipments the real operational risk is whether the cargo can be safely loaded, stowed, lashed, secured, carried and discharged without delay or damage - checked through loading method, discharge method, stowage, lashing, dunnage, securing, survey, tally, hatch cover condition, clean and dry holds, crane capacity, cargo readiness and weather exposure.

Lashing, Securing & Floating Crane Operations

For breakbulk, project cargo, heavy equipment, steel cargo and deck cargo, lashing and securing may decide whether the shipment sails safely and whether the master, chief officer or surveyor accepts the cargo condition before departure. SVC Marine can mobilize a local cargo lashing team of up to around 200 workers in the Son Duong - Vung Ang industrial and port area, subject to cargo scope, schedule, port access and project confirmation.

Marine Technical Backup

Marine Technical Backup During Cargo Operations

Cargo operations can stop for reasons not visible at the quotation stage: vessel crane failure, hatch cover problem, cargo gear issue, missing lashing material, port delay, floating crane requirement, weather exposure, workshop delay or communication failure between shipper, master, agent, cargo party and vessel owner. Because SVC Marine also handles ship repair, drydock, owner’s representative work, technical superintendent attendance, spare parts and port attendance, the shipping desk can connect freight work with technical execution when a cargo operation goes wrong.

Escalation Capability

  • Vessel crane / cargo gear inspection
  • Hatch cover and hold condition attention
  • Emergency vendor arrangement and cargo gear repair
  • Floating crane backup
  • Lashing material and team arrangement
  • Surveyor / tally arrangement and local workshop control
  • Communication with master, agent, shipowner and cargo interests

Unsuitable hold / hatch condition

Hold not clean or dry, hatch covers not tight for the cargo.

Cargo gear or crane failure

Weak or unreliable ship gear stopping the operation.

Unclear loading / discharge terms

FIOS / FILO / liner terms and stevedoring responsibility undefined.

Lashing and securing shortage

Material or manpower not ready before sailing.

Floating crane / anchorage delay

Crane availability, weather and sea condition exposure.

Weather, moisture & contamination

Rain, seawater or contamination damage to sensitive cargo.

Draft / berth / port limitation

Port cannot physically handle the nominated vessel or cargo.

Demurrage & waiting time exposure

Slow cargo readiness and standby cost not allocated.

Compliance, sanctions & payment

Parties, route, payment and document mismatch screening.
