𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗿. 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿. 💙

For a seafarer, events far beyond the ship can be deeply personal.
That can mean concern about the voyage ahead, uncertainty about getting home or worrying about loved ones thousands of miles away. For families ashore, it can mean waiting for news and trying to understand risks they cannot see.

⚓ These pressures sit alongside the everyday demands of life at sea: long periods away from home, demanding work and life within a close onboard community. Shore colleagues supporting crews through difficult situations carry pressures of their own.

A calm face or a familiar “I’m fine” may tell only part of the story.

On World Mental Health Day, we recognise the responsibility we share to make it easier for people to speak openly and receive support.

For those leading teams at sea and ashore, that means making time for conversations, taking concerns seriously and following through when help is needed. We want what people tell us to inform how that support develops.

𝗠𝘆𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 brings that responsibility into everyday practice.

Our in-house welfare and wellbeing team gives Synergy seafarers and their families a clear point of contact. The team listens, offers practical assistance and helps people access appropriate professional support where needed. Conversations are handled with discretion.

💬 You can reach out about a concern onboard, a difficult situation at home or something you would like to talk through with someone ashore. You do not need to wait until a concern becomes a crisis. In an emergency onboard, follow your vessel’s emergency procedures and use the company emergency contacts displayed on board.

Today, take a moment to check in with yourself. Make time for someone else, too, and give them room to answer honestly.

𝗠𝘆𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘂𝘀.
Support for you at sea and ashore.

Clear employment terms, dependable support and training that keeps pace with the ships they operate matter to Filipino seafarers and their families.

Our team at Synergygroup Operations Inc. (SGOI) joined government, labour and industry representatives at the Philippine Maritime Convention 2026 (PhilMarCon), held on 22 and 23 September at The Manila Hotel.

Representing SGOI were Capt. Krishna Mundath, Director and Principal Representative of Synergy Marine Pte. Ltd., and Phoebe Baczynski, Chairman and Head of Finance and Administration.

Led by the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW), with MARINA, AMOSUP and the Joint Manning Group as co-convenors, the convention focused on seafarers’ rights, welfare, maritime education and the future workforce. President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. addressed delegates on the protection and support of Filipino seafarers.

Priorities discussed included:
📄 The 2026 DMW Sea-Based Rules and updated Standard Employment Contracts for Overseas Filipino Seafarers
🛟 Government measures to strengthen emergency repatriation and support for seafarers affected by security risks
🎓 Continued alignment of maritime education, training and certification with STCW requirements
🧭 The Seafarers’ Voyage Plan 2030 and the Convention Declaration, setting out shared priorities for the sector

For us at SGOI, these discussions connect directly to our work in recruitment, crew preparation and support for seafarers and their families. Clear guidance and dependable assistance matter before joining a vessel, during service at sea and on returning home.

We thank the DMW and the co-convenors for bringing the maritime community together around these priorities.

Pictured with Atty. Hans Leo J. Cacdac, Secretary of Migrant Workers; Atty. Darlene R. Pajarito, Undersecretary; and Mr. Augusto B. San Diego III, OIC Assistant Secretary for Sea-Based OFW Concerns.

🚢 Tanker freight is at record levels. It is a market in which the pressure to keep ships moving is at its strongest.

In a new TradeWinds interview, our Group CEO, Jesper Kristensen, discusses the decisions facing ship managers while vessels and seafarers remain exposed to conflict in the Middle East.

👥 “Our standard throughout was that a request to leave would be acted upon rather than argued with. Where seafarers exercised that right, it was respected without detriment to their employment or future assignment.”

Jesper also emphasised the Master’s overriding authority and the manager’s responsibility to ensure that every safety-based decision is supported by reliable information and direct access to shore leadership.

Where acceptable risk thresholds cannot be reconciled with an operating mandate, Synergy must be prepared to decline the operation or, ultimately, the mandate itself.

⚓ Dual fuel, long-term decisions

MFM NICOLE, a newly built 39,200 m³ fully refrigerated LPG carrier, joined our managed fleet in July. Owned by Asian Shipping S.A., she is under the technical management of Synergy Maritime Gas Pte. Ltd.

Her MAN B&W ME-LGIP engine runs on LPG or conventional fuel oil, while her three IMO Type A cargo tanks can carry LPG and anhydrous ammonia.

She adds to our experience managing LNG, LPG and methanol dual-fuel vessels across gas carriers, container vessels, tankers and bulk carriers—experience that informs crew preparation, maintenance and advice to owners.

💬 “A vessel ordered today will trade for decades under rules that are still being negotiated. The right fuel decision is the one that holds up across her total cost of ownership, not only her first years in service, and owners need evidence from ships already operating to judge that. Our job is to bring that evidence to their decisions, and to make sure our seafarers have the training and shore support to run these vessels well.”
— Jesper Kristensen, Group CEO, Synergy Marine Group

👏 Thank you to Captain Chithiravel Velu, Chief Engineer Hemant Kumar and all our colleagues on board for the expertise and enthusiasm you bring to MFM NICOLE.

We thank Asian Shipping S.A. for their trust, and our shore colleagues for supporting her crew.

🌊 Safe voyages to everyone on board.

Predictable ship repair is not about expecting nothing to change. It is about knowing what has changed, what it means and what happens next.

Two days after signing our MoU with Cochin Shipyard Limited, our teams were back at the yard for the CSL Ship Repair Division workshop, From Docking Plan to On-Time Redelivery, focused on what gives an owner confidence before, during and after a docking.

Around 100 participants from across CSL’s Ship Repair Division joined the workshop, bringing yard, manager and class perspectives together. Collectively, the speakers represented the equivalent of more than 20 years of cumulative dry-dock days across ship operation, management, class, survey and repair.

For our colleagues Suresh Kurup and Vivek Jain, it was also a return to the yard where they began their maritime careers as trainee marine engineers.

“Across close to 100 dry-dockings a year in our managed fleet, one point holds,” said Nitin Kandwal, Senior DGM in our Lifecycle Services team. “Dock time is only the means. What the owner is paying for is redelivery on the committed date.”

A reliable redelivery date is built on both sides of the dock: clear specifications, realistic commitments, class and OEM readiness, an achievable critical path and early visibility of anything that could affect cost or schedule.

And during ex*****on:
One vessel. One plan. One version of the truth.

A live simulation of Day 4 of an 18-day docking put that thinking to the test, with expanded steel renewal, a delayed critical spare, an additional class requirement, disputed variations and a firm post-redelivery commitment.

The question was not simply whether Day 18 could still be achieved. It was: what does the owner need to know now?

Our thanks to Rajesh Gopalakrishnan, Sivakumar A, Sanil Peter and the CSL teams; Capt. Sasikumar Swaminathan; Capt. Sajan Varghese; Capt. G.K. George; Sajith Kumar of IRS Kochi; and our colleagues Suresh Kurup, Vivek Jain and Nitin Kandwal for making this such a practical exchange.

⚓ Yard and manager ultimately measure a successful docking the same way: by whether the owner would confidently bring the next vessel back.

Nord Luna was a Panamax bulk carrier looked after from a small office in Chennai. She has since changed hands and names, and it is good to see her still in service.

Captain Rajesh Unni founded Synergy that year. In the first Chennai office, colleagues worked together in one room and spoke directly across roles. Captain Unni led with empathy, listening to people and taking them seriously whatever their position.

Today, more than 750 ships are in our care across bulk, tanker, container, gas and offshore fleets. Among them is MAERSK FLINDERS, a methanol dual-fuel container ship owned by NKS Canopus of the Nissen Kaiun Singapore Group. She is very different from Nord Luna, but the relationship behind both vessels spans twenty years.

“Owners do not entrust us with a ship because of where we sit in a league table,” says Jesper Kristensen, our Group CEO. “They want to know who is accountable for her, whether her crew will have the support they need, and how our decisions will affect her performance and total cost of ownership over time.”

Our thanks begin with our seafarers and the colleagues ashore who support them. We are grateful to Captain Katsuya Abe and Nissen Kaiun for entrusting a new company with its first ship and for their continued confidence. To every other customer who has placed a vessel in our care over these twenty years: thank you for that responsibility, for working with us and for helping us improve. 🚢

690,218 EU allowances surrendered in full.
📊 70% of verified 2025 emissions
✅ Every Group-level obligation met
🗓️ Completed ahead of the 30 September deadline

The figure is the visible result. Behind it were complete vessel data, verified company reporting, allowances in place on time and controlled registry ex*****on, with every position reconciled before surrender.

The work was led by Synergy’s Emissions team, supported by vessel and shore colleagues across Marine, Technical, QHSE and Legal. Azolla supported EUA procurement. 🤝

“EU ETS compliance is now part of the operating and financial discipline of ship management. Completing this larger obligation, with every position reconciled before surrender, demonstrates that the process can be applied consistently at scale. We now carry the same standard into the full 2026 reporting-year obligation.”
— Vikas Trivedi, Co-CEO, Ship Management, Synergy Marine Group

Next: the full 2026 reporting-year obligation, covering 100% of verified emissions and bringing methane and nitrous oxide into scope. Preparation is already under way.

Thank you to our teams at sea and ashore.

SDTR GLORIA carried 63 wind turbine blades from Tuticorin, India, to Germany, stowed up to three tiers high.
She is an 85,000 dwt-class gearless bulk carrier, built for cargoes such as grain, coal and ore carried in her holds. On this voyage the cargo sat above them, in an arrangement shaped not only by weight but by length, geometry and windage.

⚙️ Preparing SDTR GLORIA to carry blade cargoes began with engineering. Her deck cargo loading manual and loading computer were updated, and the cargo-securing arrangement was supported by detailed engineering calculations and technical review and approval.

Engineering made the carriage possible. It did not make the passage routine.
At sea, the plan became a continuing responsibility for the crew: inspecting the supports and securing arrangements, monitoring the weather and vessel motion, and ensuring that the cargo remained within the conditions for which it had been engineered.

🌍 The energy transition is usually discussed in targets and generating capacity. Before any turbine turns, its largest components still have to get from factory to site. On this voyage, that meant 63 blades across the deck of a Kamsarmax.

Our thanks to SDTR Marine for their continued trust in Synergy and the opportunity to support this undertaking, and to Capt. Kuang Suochi, Chief Engineer Gao Liang and the crew of SDTR GLORIA, who carried the plan through to discharge.

IMO’s World Maritime Day theme for 2026 and 2027, the first to run for two years, is “From Policy to Practice: Powering Maritime Excellence”.

Every convention and code ultimately has to work aboard a ship. In the engine control room, that can look fairly ordinary: an engineer at the desk, the NOx Technical File beside him and a maker’s manual open at the page he needs.

The industry is moving towards new fuels and increasingly connected machinery. Much of the policy, regulation and system design is developed ashore, but its value is realised only when someone aboard can apply it during an ordinary working day.⚙️

That is the practice half of the theme. It belongs to seafarers.

Synergy Marine Group and Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL) signed a memorandum of understanding in Kochi on 22 September to jointly pursue shipbuilding, repair and conversion projects in India.

The MoU was signed by Ajay Chaudhry, Co-CEO Ship Management, Synergy Marine Group, and Rajesh Gopalakrishnan, Director (Technical), CSL, in the presence of our Group CEO Jesper Kristensen and Jose V J, Chairman and Managing Director of CSL.

Incorporated in 1972, CSL is India’s largest public-sector shipyard by dock capacity and builds and repairs vessels for commercial and naval customers.

In February, it signed a contract with CMA CGM for six 1,700-TEU LNG dual-fuel feeder containerships. Its 310-metre dry dock expands its capacity to accommodate larger vessels.

🤝 The collaboration combines Synergy’s engineering, project management and operating experience with CSL’s shipbuilding and repair capabilities.

For Synergy, total cost of ownership is central to this collaboration. Decisions about equipment, maintenance access and commissioning influence operating costs and reliability for decades.

Bringing operating experience into these decisions helps address issues while there is still scope to change the design.

As Jesper Kristensen said: “A vessel’s long-term performance is shaped well before it enters service. Our role is to carry the owner’s requirements through engineering and project ex*****on into the years of operation that follow.”

🌏 Our current newbuilding assignments cover more than 150 vessels at 20 shipyards across six countries. Our conversion experience includes LNG carrier-to-FSRU projects, from feasibility and engineering through commissioning and subsequent technical management.

Thank you to the Cochin Shipyard Ltd leadership and teams for their hospitality in Kochi and their work in bringing this collaboration together.
