Ships Husbandry Services - FAQs
What is a global husbandry agent?
A global husbandry agent supports vessel owners and charterers around the globe by ensuring that their crew and vessels have everything they need. Global husbandry agents utilise a worldwide network to provide vessels with husbandry services wherever they are needed.
In order to stay operational, vessels require fuelling, equipment maintenance and replenishment of the consumable items that are onboard. Crews also need to be paid, given leave or provided with medical assistance, which can require hospitality and paperwork arrangements.

What is ships husbandry?
A ship’s husband is an agent, on shore, who manages the supply of provisions to the vessel on behalf of the operator. The husbandry agent will have a network of suppliers in the port area, allowing them to efficiently source everything that a vessel and its crew needs.
When using a husbandry agent, vessel operators and charterers can benefit from passed on savings whilst having the convenience of a single point of contact. This efficiency, combined with the ability of an agent to react best to any unusual requests, make ships husbands and port agents a standard employ in each port call.

How do husbandry agents service crews?
Husbandry agents look after vessel crews by providing them with everything that they need, whether it is during their port call or in advance of their ongoing journey. Ship’s husbandry providers can provide hospitality bookings, medical appointments, or assist with the paperwork required for getting on and off a vessel.
Vessels require replenishment of food, fresh water, and other consumables that are used by the crews during transit. A husbandry agent can be a single point of contact in port for a vessel operator so that they can ensure that the vessel has everything that it, and the crew, will need.
