Third-Party Ship Management — Mumbai & Hong Kong · Chief Engineer-Led · RPSL No. 1027

Stuck on a problem no one else can solve? That's exactly where we start.

Seavantek Marine Group manages technical operations, crew, dry-docking, and vessel transactions the way an owner would — because our founding team has actually held Chief Engineer rank, and our wider team includes Master Mariners, all of whom have signed the watch log and stood in the engine room or on the bridge at sea.

Run by former Chief Engineers and Master Mariners — the same people now working ashore as your Technical Superintendents, not agents reading from a brief.

What We Do

Seven disciplines, one shore-based team

Each service is run by people who've worked the role before they started managing it — not a call centre reading from a script.

⚙ 01 / Crew & Technical

Crew & Technical Management

RPSL-licensed manning from a 50,000+ seafarer database, combined with full technical management — maintenance, procurement, compliance, and 24/7 support — run by superintendents who've held the rank at sea.

🔬 02 / Marine Forensics

Marine Forensics

Pre-purchase inspection, spec-sheet verification, and documentation gap analysis. We read the primary source — not the seller's summary — and tell you exactly what's proven and what isn't before any commitment is made.

Learn more →
⚓ 03 / Dry Docking

Dry Docking Supervision

Yard selection, negotiation, and daily in-person progress oversight. We separate class requirements from yard upsells before the contract is signed — so your vessel comes back on time and on budget.

Learn more →
🚢 04 / Vessel Acquisition

Vessel Acquisition Advisory

End-to-end deal support for buyers — shortlisting, negotiation, financing facilitation, and delivery. Technical verification runs through our Marine Forensics methodology; here we get the deal itself structured, financed, and closed.

💰 05 / Fix the Drain

Fix the Drain — OpEx Audit

Your costs are up. We'll tell you exactly which line item is leaking and why — running the same forensic review on your accounts that we run on a vessel's documentation. Most vessels bleed 15–22% above benchmark without ever knowing where it goes.

🧭 06 / Seafarer Advisory

Seafarer Advisory & Consulting

PSC deficiency handling, ORB documentation, MARPOL compliance, and career consulting — from someone who has actually held the rank and stood in front of a port state inspector.

Learn more →
🛠 07 / Office Automation

Office Automation & Maritime Software

CRM, Accounts, S&P Tracker, and Planned Maintenance — four systems built in-house by a mariner, used daily to run Seavantek. Available to license for your own operation.

🛠 Built In-House — Proprietary Maritime Software

We automated our own office first

Before we offered to streamline anyone else's operations, we streamlined ours. Every system below was built by a mariner, for mariners — not handed to software engineers working off a brief, which is how most maritime software gets built elsewhere. That means we control the roadmap and fix issues the same day they're found.

CRM

Crew Management System

Tracks certification, contracts, and crew-change planning across the full seafarer pool in real time.

Accounts

Financial Operations

Vendor payments, agency fees, and reconciliation, with leave and discrepancy tracking built in.

S&P

Sale & Purchase Tracker

Manages technical due diligence, documentation, and transaction status for vessel sale and purchase deals.

PMS

Planned Maintenance System

Schedules and tracks maintenance against class and manufacturer requirements, vessel by vessel.

Curious whether one of these could run your operation instead of ours? Let's talk →

Real Operations

Not stock photography

Vessel under dry-dock supervision

Dry-docking, supervised in person. Yard progress checked daily, not signed off remotely.

Crew safety drill on deck

Safety drills, run the way they're written down. Not a checkbox exercise.

Why Owners Choose Us

Built by an engineer, not a broker

→

A shore team with sea time. Every senior team member has actually held the rank they now supervise — Fourth Engineer to Chief Engineer, before ever sitting in an office.

→

Transparent, client-approved procurement. We don't bring our own vendors into your supply chain — every quotation goes to you for approval first.

Leadership

Dheeraj R Patil

Founder & Managing Director · Chief Engineer · 25 Years in Maritime

Began as a Fourth Engineer with Neptune Orient Lines in 2001, worked through Second and Chief Engineer postings at MSC and Synergy Marine Group, then ashore as Technical Manager at Crowley Accord Marine Management from 2013. Founded Seavantek in 2019. Every technical assessment on this site passes through him personally — because the kind of problem-finding that protects buyers and owners is a pattern he built over 25 years at sea, not a checklist.
