The actual yearly direct spend on operating supplies for a moderate sized fleet on this category may reach $20-25 million. The management, carrying, wasting and recycling costs are also considerable and may reach a sizable proportion of the above (in the case of ss paint it is equal or larger). The Procurement Department can actively reduce these supply chain cost categories.
In our experience, due to supply chain inefficiencies, Ship Owners and Operators of all vessel types (Dry Cargo, Tanker, Dry Bulk and Passenger) can save up to 15-20% ($3-5 million) per year by applying these simple to moderate changes in operating procedures.
