Traditional Ship Management
is a tradition of questionable
cost and time delays to most
ship owners.
This evolved for so many
years now and ship managers
don’t want to embrace a par-
adigm shift to the new era in
ship management.
Look now in our ailing domes-
tic shipping processes. After
2 yearly mandatory dry-
docking of any vessel, moni-
toring of every maintenance
based on equipments mak-
er’s manual is not a priority
to ship managers as they
tend to be re-active always
rather than being pro-active.
That resulted to so many de-
lays and cost accumulation
due to unwanted off-hires in
between charter periods.
Risk assessment must be an-
other key aspect in best ship
management approach.
Stratosphere new approach
following our KPI is to board
your vessel six(6) months
prior to every dry-docking
schedule . All dry-docking
indent lists from ship manag-
er that was coordinated with
vessel’s Classification will be
discussed and assessed by
Stratosphere which are those
items that can be dealt with
and managed prior to the
dry-docking. This will limit the
works and time in ship yard
due most of the items are
already done by Strato-
sphere. Only bottom hull
maintenance will likely to be
performed in ship yard.
Further, prior to ship’s depar-
ture in ship yard, an electron-
ic Plan Maintenance System
(based on every equipments
maker’s manual) will be in-
stalled on board for on time
monitoring of ship owner,
and ship manager. Our flying
technician is always ready to
support the vessel anytime
needed.
New Era in Ship Management
Stratosphere Partners make
the Group more stable in
terms of being a service pro-
vider from real time scenario
of giving accurate solution in
any machinery breakdown.
Stratosphere will be your pro-
active approach partner in
every mitigation of on board
problems and conducting risk
assessment prior to every
needed repairs will be estab-
lished.

Stratosphere to owned, man-
aged and operate Passenger
Vessels, Oil Tanker, LPG Carri-
er and Other Types of Gen-
eral Cargo Ships as reflected

This will become a reminder and same time a
deterrent to all crew to observed maintenance
regime by heart.
With this idea, SSGi developed the first ever Fili-
pino made Planned Maintenance System for all
types of vessels. This can be installed to MARINA
and DOTR if they wish to monitor all vessels all
over the domestic trade who are managing their
vessels safely, promptly and efficiently.
Plan Maintenance System
Page 6 Volume 1, I ssue 1
The life span of any vessel depends fully in the proper
and accurate maintenance regime on board by dedi-
cated crew. However, due to time element on board,
movements of vessels, bad weather there must be a
system that reminds constantly and continuously all
crew in line with planned maintenance interval and
procedures based in every equipment manuals.
The maintenance done daily, weekly, monthly, 3
monthly, 6 monthly, annually must be reported on
time to the shore base management without any de-
lays and maintenance that was not performed will be
seen by the office and reports are being sent automati-
cally every week to the management side for proper
action and deliberation why a planned maintenance
was not done on time.

Chartering
Page 8 Volume 1, I ssue 1
SSGi as your charterers are directly responsible for
keeping your shipping fleet in business.
While some Charterers own ships themselves, either
on a leased or permanent basis, most charterers regu-
larly hire ships, or space on ships, to move their goods,
products and even passengers. Ship Charterers either
liaise with intermediaries, known as Ship Brokers, or
directly with ship owners to arrange the hire or charter
of ships to get those cargoes to their clients by the
most cost-effective and timely means. Ship Charterers
therefore need to be in touch with the market to find
the most suitable and cost effective transport options.
No matter how old your fleet of vessels are, SSGi will
help you maintain the good condition of your vessel
though being your charterer same time. We believed
that helping ship owner managed their vessels safely
and same time find cargo for all their vessels promptly
and efficiently we will be able to have a long term
partnership.
The charter party is a legal contract of employing a
vessel. In shipping matters, it is a highly important doc-
ument since it allocates obligations, rights, duties, lia-
bilities, risks, earnings, costs and profits between the
contracted parties, namely, the ship owner and the
charterer.
