V.Group (V.) has entered into a strategic partnership with Erasmus Shipinvest Group (ESI), for the management of commercial vessels, including the provision of crewing and marine services.
Under the agreement, V. will take a double-digit number of ESI’s vessels of various types into management, with the first container vessel having entered management earlier this week, followed by an LPG carrier entering management later this month. These two vessels will be followed by further ESI tonnage during 2024 and beyond as ESI continues to expand its global fleet.
This partnership with Erasmus further demonstrates the value of our global platform, the strength of our end-to-end offering of shipping services and our expertise in managing complex vessels, including LPG tankers.
… said René Kofod-Olsen, CEO of V.
The partnership gives ESI access to Oceanic’s vessel catering and GMT’s crew travel services, as well as membership in V.’s supply chain solution, Marcas, and ShipSure, V.’s digital ship management platform.
V.’s provision of services beyond just ship management allows us to provide our fleet with everything it needs to ensure safe and reliable services to our trading customers
