First Class Nautical Ltd, well established supplier of technical services to the yacht industry, has enlisted the support of Denholm Barwil Ltd, to provide Port Agency services in the United Kingdom and around the world.
First Class Nautical understands the particular needs of owners, Captains, charter agents and yacht managers of Superyachts. The in depth knowledge and familiarity allows FCN to meet the varied requirements in the UK. FCN has a number of preferred suppliers not just to service the vessel but the owners and guest requirements too.
Denholm Barwil Ltd is one of the UK's leading port and marine service providers, operating through a network of 22 offices at all major ports of the country. Concentrating on ship agency services in the UK, their in house expertise allows Denholm Barwil to handle all vessel types, including the specialist services required by large yachts. A strict audit process is continually carried out to ensure quality of service is improved as required operating to ISO 9001:2000 quality standards.
Ian Fenton of First Class Nautical says “Port agency is not just a 'report and clear' function of a vessel port call, but a partnership which ensures the master, owner, charterer and port are kept advised as appropriate while the vessel is supplied as efficiently as possible.”
Peter Knight, South East Ports Manager of Denholm Barwil Ltd, has an enviable wealth of knowledge and experience of handling port calls in London. “We are ideally placed to welcome Yachts to the city, having developed close working relationship with all parties involved with the berthing and servicing of vessels. The Olympic year 2012 will undoubtedly be a busy time and we strongly encourage Yachts to contact FCN now.”
Martin Gwynn-Finance Director at First Class Nautical Ltd and Sean Kerslake, Business Development Manager at Denholm Barwil are also keen to point out that although the companies are UK based, their services are available worldwide via the parent and partner companies. Case in point is the recent quote/supply of 120,000 litres of a specific grade of fuel to a 60m yacht in a remote part of the Caribbean and the management of a delicate situation for a firm of solicitors for a yacht in the Mediterranean.
All those involved with Superyachts, including ports and harbours are encouraged to contact us to discuss their individual needs, for now or in the future.
