“Richard is the right person to join our team in Phuket. With our support background and expertise in the marine industry we provide unmatched services in assisting owners as we undertake multiple jobs on board, taking the strain away from the captain and crew, in all aspects - from vessel clearances, visas, dockage, provisions, Myanmar permits, land tours, re-fits, medical needs, shipboard assistance and vessel management.” said Fernandes.

APS Phuket is the leading superyacht agency and vessel management company in Thailand and Myanmar with the most diversified group of Thai and European Nationals. “The team in Phuket has well over 100 years’ experience in almost every aspect in the marine industry, how you can beat that?’, asks Gordon.
