“It’s all about the FACTS”

At the Ferry Shipping 2014 con-ference, Anders Rundberg CEO of Carus announced the launch of a new initiative – Carus Executive Consulting.

At Carus, we believe the whole of our industry has understand-ably needed to focus on techni-cal savings and the SOX and NOX challenge but it is in real danger of not paying enough attention to the customer and the revenue potential in the “modern” world.

Boardrooms are beginning to see the value of focusing on the passenger and their experience and wanting to change old pat-terns, attract customers and ul-timately increase revenues.

Carus Executive Consulting is here to help ferry companies’ gather the facts to help your business make changes that will make a difference.

Why Carus Consulting?With the global spread of the pas-senger vessel industry it can be a challenge to find the right exper-tise locally to suit the very spe-cialised tasks and roles involved in running a successful ferry or-ganisation. Carus has the solution – Carus Consulting.

Our Ferry ConsultantsCarus has put together a team of some of the most respected ferry experts on our consulting panel, who have all operated at Board-room level.

Our senior team of experts – which will be led by Simon John-son – can match the right skills with any maritime challenge to assist ferry operators with short, medium or long-term projects where companies don’t have the resources readily available.

About Carus

Carus has exten-sive experience of delivering services and solutions reserva-tion, port operations, onboard services and administration for passenger vessel operators across four continents with un-rivalled performance and relia-bility.
