Husbandry Services
Comprehensive crew and vessel support, 24/7.
When your vessel is in port, Nautical Link provides comprehensive husbandry care to ensure crew welfare and ship needs are met. Our experienced husbandry agents act as your local partner, coordinating everything from crew change support to spare-part delivery. We handle shore passes, transport and accommodation for arriving and departing crew, and provide medical and recreational assistance as needed. Our team expedites the shipment of spare parts and bonded stores through customs and arranges delivery on board. We also coordinate fuel, lubricant and fresh-water bunkering, and maintain close liaison with port authorities and classification societies on your behalf. By integrating these services with our port agency work, Nautical Link streamlines operations and minimises vessel downtime.
Key Services:
- Crew Transfer & Welfare: Meet-and-greet, baggage assistance, hotel bookings, ground transport, visa/shore-pass handling, medical and recreational services.
- Spares & Stores Handling: Customs clearance and prompt delivery of spare parts, mail and provisions to the vessel.
