Marine Services

Over the years, AKS has built a team of personnel with expertise in mixed disciplines, using a mix of staff with long years of practical ship-board and ship-yard experience.

Al Khair Shipping Management (AKS) Marine services wing is where it all began… “AKS”carries out marine inspections and surveys, spanning across different vessel types and cargoes ranging from:

• Liquid and Gas cargoes
• Bulk
• Containers
• Break-bulk

Today our expertise encompasses the entire range of survey and inspection activities and includes:

• Cargo handling management
• Insurance surveys for loss assessment
• Vessel pre-purchase inspections
• STS operations
• Claims handling
• Loading Master Services for liquid cargoes
• Expeditor services for dry cargoes

We have established ourselves as experts for total cargo logistics management (Port Captaincy) for difficult consignments including projects cargos and heavy lifts.

The appointment of a Port Captain offers a considerable advantage to a ship owner through the drawing up of systematic stowage plans and the knowledge of local conditions which help cut down on a vessel’s turnover time.

The significant difference is that we act not as mere surveyors, but as expeditors, looking after a client’s interests as we would our own.
