In July 2022, ChinaSpro learned that V.Ships MV BUILDER was scheduled for repairs at Dalian COSCO Shipyard in China. ChinaSpro's sales team contacted the ship management company in Greek and offered to perform the bilge slop discharge operation in the engine room before the ship went into dock, as it would benefit the repair process.
At first, V.SHIPS responded that they had a local partner firm to do the job but later learned that the company could not perform the operation since it didn't have the permits to work in the shipyard area. Given the urgent nature of MV BUILDER's repair plan, the bilge slop had to be treated before the vessel entered the dock. The captain of the vessel thus contacted Everwin. Without delay, our company connected with Mr. Stavros, the fleet superintendent of V.SHIPs, and obtained an authorization letter on the day the vessel entered the shipyard. We helped BUILDER handled various declaration procedures, including customs and maritime affairs. Once the vessel completed border formalities upon entering the shipyard, ChinaSpro's operation vessel YONGSHENG 77 and it crew member swiftly completed the slop discharge operation of MV BUILDER in just four hours.
This initial cooperation with V.SHIPS allowed them to experience the high level of service we provide, leading to Everwin being chosen as the preferred service provider for V.SHIPS's fleet.
