VESSEL MONITORING, RECOVERY LOGISTICS

Extend your shore team and tap into our wealth of offshore sailing and technical expertise with our vessel monitoring and standby logistics services. Before you set off on your next adventure or delivery, book in with our monitoring team who will track your progress and remain on standby ready to step in with shore support or recovery logistics services should you need them.

It pays to be prepared; our experience of managing logistics for major events and international sailing teams has taught us the importance of having stringent contingency and crisis management planning. It is not always possible to have a large enough team to implement these plans and this is where our experts at GAC Pindar can assist.

Contingency & Crisis Management

We will work with you to develop a tailored contingency and crisis management plan to cover timelines and locations along your chosen migration route. Working with appropriate technicians we formulate capsize plans and boat recovery instructions and liaise with your own insurers prior to and during an incident or emergency. Familiar with the responsibility of being first point of contact for maritime coastguard agencies, we collate and hold all vessel and crew documentation, comfortable with managing communications during an incident or emergency situation. We have created an invaluable service and are ready to become a true and trusted extension of your shore team.

Vessel Monitoring

We equip vessels with a tracking system and, utilising our agents across the globe, provide 24-hour monitoring of your boat and team throughout its ocean passage. Tried and tested by single-handed sailors, global offshore races and international multihull teams, our experts remain on standby ready to assist with any scenario that may develop while a vessel is at sea.

Standby & Recovery Logistics

Providing freight forwarding services and warehousing, we advise on repositioning locations for crucial spares ready for quick transits. Should breakages occur and diversions be necessary, our team is on standby, ready to assist with crew and customs procedures at ports around the world and will manage any additional freight forwarding requirements you may need. By drawing on the global strength of GAC and our contacts worldwide, we will work with your insurers and experts in the immediate event of vessel abandonment, implementing your crisis management and vessel recovery plan.

Be prepared! Contact us today about any of our contingency planning services.

“I set high targets with our project to have eight Dragons sailing around Europe for charters, clinics and private events. For us, the fact that we could count on GAC Pindar’s experience and capacity to start moving our boats was a key element and allowed us to focus on the commercial and financial side of our start-up company. The process of delivering our boats from the UK to Portugal was very smooth and accurate, allowing us to start with our schedule with no issues. We are looking forward to continuing to work with GAC Pindar in the years to come and provide quality sailing to the lovers of our sport.”
