Environmental compliance questions

Open a line to read the answer.

The IMO Data Collection System requires eligible ships to record and report fuel oil consumption each year, and those figures feed carbon-intensity checks such as CII. Nanak Ship Management lists IMO DCS in its technical ship management scope, so ask the team how it applies to your vessel.

SEEMP Part III is the ship-specific plan for managing carbon intensity, describing how the vessel will reach and hold its required CII rating. It is reviewed as the rating changes. Nanak Ship Management supports SEEMP Part III work as part of its ship management services.

The Carbon Intensity Indicator grades a ship from A to E each year. Under IMO rules, a ship rated D three years in a row, or E in a single year, must prepare a corrective action plan. The technical management team can talk through practical next steps.

Yes. Class and Flag State liaison sits inside Nanak Ship Management's technical management offer, alongside superintendence, planned maintenance and dry-docking. Describe your vessel and the standard you are working to through the Nanak Ship Management contact page and the operations team will respond.

The Nanak Shipping Institute lists 200+ maritime courses, including NSI-005 Ballast Water Treatment Systems and auditing and ISO programs. Browse the full course catalogue to find the right match by rank, then ask the institute to confirm suitability and dates.

Call +91 98197 72041 or use the compliance calendar on this site to list the reviews you need and the months you want them in. You can also write straight to the operations desk, which runs 24/7 at Nanak Ship Management.

03 · Diagnostics

Fuel and machinery questions

Open a line to read the answer.

It means looking at how the engine, fuel system and auxiliary machinery are actually performing, and where efficiency or reliability is slipping. Nanak Ship Management lists fuel diagnostics and machinery reliability inside its technical management service, so scope is agreed per vessel.

Fuel burned drives carbon emissions, and worn or poorly tuned machinery burns more of it for the same work. That is why diagnostics support CII and SEEMP Part III goals. Ask the technical management team how a machinery review could fit your voyage and fuel records.

Yes. Planned maintenance systems, superintendence and drydocking are all part of the technical ship management published by Nanak Ship Management. A diagnostic finding can feed straight into the maintenance plan. Read the services overview and then describe your fleet to the team.

Yes. Featured courses at the Nanak Shipping Institute include NSI-003 Engine Room Resource Management and NSI-009 Advanced Automation & Control Engineering. Details are on the institute's featured courses page, and the team can advise which suits each engineer.

Nanak Ship Management lists riding repair squads and dry-dock superintendence among its services, so a diagnostic finding can be followed by repair work. For skilled trades, see the international labour supply page for welders, electricians and fitters.

Share the vessel type, the machinery concern and your timeline using the enquiry docket on this site or by calling +91 98197 72041. A marine professional replies, and you can also contact Nanak Ship Management directly for operational matters.

Ballast and emissions questions

Open a line to read the answer.

NSI-005 Ballast Water Treatment Systems is a featured course at the Nanak Shipping Institute, listed in its safety and operations area. Details and enrolment questions are on the featured training page, and the institute replies through its contact page.

It treats ballast water taken on and discharged by a ship so that organisms are not carried between ports, in line with IMO ballast water rules. The stepper on this site explains the general flow. For the formal course, see the Nanak Shipping Institute catalogue.

No. The stepper is a plain-language explanation of the general ballast water treatment flow, not course material and not an operating manual. For actual training, enquire about NSI-005 through the Nanak Shipping Institute contact page.

Typically officers and engineers who operate, supervise or maintain the treatment system, and those who keep the related records. The institute confirms suitability by rank and experience, so share your crew list through the institute enquiry page and ask for guidance.

Beyond NSI-005, the catalogue includes NSI-009 Advanced Automation & Control Engineering and NSI-019 Leadership & Human Element, plus auditing and ISO programs. See the advanced courses page for details and ask which combination supports your fleet.

Use the enquiry docket on this site, call +91 98197 72041, or write to the Nanak Shipping Institute, which is led by Capt. Dilip Narsian, Master Mariner. Its director profile explains the approach behind the training.

05 · Audits

Audits and surveys questions

Open a line to read the answer.

It is an independent look at a ship's condition before you commit to buying it, so that surprises surface early. Nanak Ship Management lists pre-purchase vessel audits among its services, and you can read the wider scope on its services page.

Typically the general condition of the vessel, machinery, maintenance records and the Class and statutory position, with the exact scope agreed for each ship. Describe the vessel and your goal to the Nanak Ship Management team and they will outline what applies.

Yes. Dry-dock superintendence is a published Nanak Ship Management service, covering the planning and oversight of the yard period, and it sits beside drydocking and Class liaison in the technical management offer.

Nanak Ship Management quotes BIMCO SHIPMAN contracts, MLC 2006 and ISO 9001:2015, alongside STCW for crew. These frame how audits and records are handled. Read the Nanak Ship Management website for the full list and ask how they apply to your vessel.

Yes. The Nanak Shipping Institute catalogue includes auditing and ISO programs among its 200+ maritime courses. Use the course catalogue to browse them and the institute can advise which fits an internal auditor or a superintendent.

Send the vessel type, location and timeline through the enquiry docket or call +91 98197 72041. A marine professional will reply, usually within one working day, and may refer you to the operations desk for the detail.

06 · Crew

Crew and career questions

Open a line to read the answer.

Nanak Ship Management lists STCW and MLC manning, CDC, reference and medical vetting, training, welfare, travel and payroll. Read the crew management service for the details and describe your vessel and ranks so the team can scope it.

Nanak Ship Management quotes an onboarding timeline of 14 to 30 days, with a 24/7 operations desk to coordinate. Exact timing depends on ranks, documents and destination, so confirm with the operations team when you share your requirement.

Certified electricians, welders to 6G, TIG and MIG standards, structural fitters, and skilled and general helpers are all listed under international labour supply. See the labour supply page and share headcount and dates with us.

ProCareerTek offers IMU-CET coaching, DNS, BSc Nautical Science, GME, BTech Marine and ratings guidance, plus 200+ practice papers and Sri Lanka CoC help. Browse the ProCareerTek programs and contact them for the route that fits you.

The Nanak Shipping Institute is led by Capt. Dilip Narsian, a Master Mariner. His profile explains the thinking behind the courses, which include Leadership & Human Element (NSI-019). Read the director profile for more.

Yes, because crew management and training sit in the same group. Nanak Ship Management handles manning and welfare while the Nanak Shipping Institute runs the courses, so you can ask for both in one conversation via the institute contact page.
