LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

Mr. S. C. Sehgal, an Ex-Marine Engineer, is Managing Director Of “S.N.P. Shipping Services Pvt. Ltd., Mumbai, India”.


Mr. Sehgal bid good-bye to sailing in 1978. After a valuable shore experience in ship manning and ship management operations between 1979 – 1983, Mr. Sehgal established his own identity by incorporating SNP Ship Management & Consultation Bureau in 1984 and SNP Shipping Services Private Ltd. in 1992 at Mumbai, India.

 

Mr. Sehgal is one of those Indians who preferred to stay back in India rather than follow the trend of Indian professionals settling down abroad. He had the vision that when foreign ship management centers could attract Total Ship Management business (crew, technical, commercial and financial management) by operating from their own place of business utilizing Indian manpower for shore establishments as well as for ships at sea, then why an Indian Company could not deploy similar Indian Culture at an Indian based marine centre to attract & benefit foreign ship owners for Total Ship Management business which in fact had an advantage of cost effectiveness & centralized control.

In the early days, Mr. Sehgal’s aim to turn his vision into reality was hampered due to inadequate communication facilities in India as well as stringent Government regulations for foreign exchange control which necessitated the company to allow transfer some of Total Ship Management obligations to third parties. However, Mr. Sehgal kept moving forward with market oriented strategies in order to establish SNP Shipping Services Pvt. Ltd. as a strong permanent Indian platform and arm of “Total Ship Management” for foreign as well as Indian Shipowners. In the meantime, the Company did not opt for becoming a part of only crew manning agencies which were mushrooming in India day by day for supply of Indian crew.

Finally, with the change of situation with Indian communication infrastructure and with the support of liberalized government policies in foreign exchange control, SNP Shipping Services Pvt. Ltd., Mumbai (India) worked through a number of successful partnerships and joint ventures in the field of shipping including third party Total Ship Management Business. The company’s success was its strength of expertise & quality of services at level not less than league of foreign ship management centers but with an edge of having centralized control only at Mumbai for all day to day shore-side ship management operations of fleet as well as on sea-side for crew selection, crew training, performance monitoring & and above all cost effectiveness.

On the business front the company’s policy is not to expand the fleet simply to be bigger in the race of front runners, but to focus more & more on operational and management issues of manageable fleet of 15-20 vessels at any given time. The company also knows the need to be equally selective in choosing ship owners for third part ship management services so that owner to owner interests are well maintained and cash flow situations, if any, don’t create any conflict of interests for any ship owner.

The company’s present historical strengths are Dry Bulk & General Cargo Ships and company is now concentrating on areas of containers shipping and oil tankers. The company owes its success to Company’s In-house veteran professionals & staff and a pool of dedicated crew, manning the ships. Presently company has a strength of 50 shore based professionals and assistants in relevant departments joined by a pool of 400 seafarers for onboard services.

The Company's Objectives
Considering each ship to be a business assert worth millions of dollars and once at sea being completely dependent on its crew who sail it as well as on shore based professionals focusing on operational & management issues, the company reviews these two important facets very minutely & continuously in order to have perfect manning & maintenance and to render satisfactory & economical services to a Ship Owner.

The company's future strategy is to bring new vitality into its corporate culture based on ethics & integrity and optimize its performance to gain a competitive edge. The company is geared with full strength to meet every demand of its clients as well as of any maritime challenge.
