September 1, 2020 Maritime Safety News

How Mastermind has achieved Clarity & Scalability across Multicountry Operations with SAP?

The Mastermind Group (MSM) was founded principally as a ship-owning company that later expanded into ship-management. MSM technically manages a fleet of more than 20+ vessels, which consist of dry bulk, break-bulk and multipurpose vessels.

MSM prides itself in being very innovative and instrumental in developing its new ship designs with shipyards in Japan and China. The yards have eventually succeeded, delivering more than 50 vessels to various ship-owners worldwide. The company is dedicated to safety and quality, always minding the protection of the environment. MSM is determined to safely “Navigate Ahead” to the fullest satisfaction of its customers.
