I worked on a vessel chartered by Swire Shipping from 2023 to 2025. The company carried out strict RightShip inspections every three months, and Chinese supercargoes frequently instructed the master and chief officer on how to operate the vessel. Representatives also took discreet photographs of the vessel and crew in port, followed by reports listing deficiencies and requesting written explanations. The schedule, port operations, and supply were well organized, but communication with the company’s representatives involved a high level of scrutiny and micromanagement.
