ORGANISATION

MACNALINK operates on the management cell system with a Technical Superintendent responsible for the operation of five vessels. He is assisted by one Technical Assistant.

The company deals with maintaining a even keel between engineering and marine commercial skills necessary to face any emergency. A close knit team is present with senior management providing overview and monitoring of ships.

The team works to provide the ship owners with solutions to problems by working through effective communications within the team. In the absence of one, adequate cover is provided by another team member.

The rational to maintain a proper ratio in staff is at the crux of Macnalink’s management control. Support services are provided by an operations department, administrative personnel and an accounts person.
 

TRAINING AND MANNING

MACNALINK has strict policies on vessel manning and training. Options are available to ship - owners.

Pre-recruitment procedures stipulate completion of standard application forms by candidates, interviews, reference and certificate checks’ and medicals. This is followed by a technical interview by MACNALINK Management. Officers and Ratings are formally appraised at the end of their tour of duty by the company. Continuous assessments on board by company managers are conducted in the case of senior officers.

MACNALINK arranges visits for Masters and Chief Engineers to visit its offices for briefings, both technical and operational before they sail. Debriefing sessions are also arranged for senior officers, where appropriate. 

Training is a cornerstone of Macnalink’s Manpower planning programmes to ensure each and every vessel it manages is in the hands of able and competent seamen.

There are three aspects of training covered:-

• Certification and STCW training supervised firsthand by the company office  for validity of all relevant documentation.

 
• Systems Training management and personnel development. This is   pertinent to the company’s strict adherence to Safety and Quality   arrangements.

 
•  Ship and Equipment Specific Training.
