Services

Venture Pacific Marine offers a comprehensive package of vessel management services, enabling vessel owners and their captains to maintain dependable and seamless operating schedules.

Specifically, Venture Pacific provides trained, competent and properly-certificated operating engineers and crew according to captain specifications. Our fully-equipped Seattle office also provides all other support services required for smooth vessel operation. We are in daily touch with our vessels, ready to respond to any problem that might arise. We work closely with Captains and owners to provide the level of support they require, tailoring our management program to meet their vessels’ specific needs. We also undertake engineering projects, from minor re-fits to major overhauls and rebuilds -and consistently bring the job in on time and under budget, at an average of 60% less than your average shipyard cost. Among the services we offer:

  • Engineering, technical and logistical support and project management
  • Provision of Operating Engineers and other crew as needed, including interviewing, reference checking, drug testing, medical examinations and verification of professional qualifications
  • Crew accounting and payroll services
  • Crew travel booking and arrangements
  • Worldwide logistical support for provisions, fuel, spares, etc.
  • Project Management, budgeting and personnel support for major and minor refits
  • Implementation of a planned maintenance program
  • Implementation of the SOLAS International Safety Management program (ISM)
  • Flag state and international regulatory services
  • Risk Management and safety program implementation

Our Management Team
We are able to do the above because of the expertise and experience of our management team, all of whom have practical, hands-on seagoing experience and are thoroughly familiar with the demands of keeping a vessel staffed, supplied and logistically supported: anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Conversion & Rebuilding
We pride ourselves on the conversions and rebuilds we have done for owners - on time and within budget, and at a fraction of the cost of other shipyards.  At our enclosed, weather-sheltered Seattle facility we are ready to undertake any job, big or small, and carry it through to your complete satisfaction.
