Shipowners Trust Shipowners — Not Companies Saying “We’re The Best”

03-Dec-2025

 

How Is Trust Really Built?

Trust is not created when a company says, “We are the best.”
Not in maritime.
Not anywhere.

A brochure doesn’t build trust.
A catalog doesn’t build trust.
A marketing email definitely doesn’t build trust.

In maritime, trust is built in one clear way:

Not by your own words,
but by what shipowners, captains, and chief engineers say after they use your service.

Think about it:

If trust came from companies talking about themselves, then:

  • On Amazon, the sellers who say “We are the best!” would sell the most.
  • On Airbnb, the hosts saying “Our home is perfect!” would be the most trusted.
  • On Uber, the drivers saying “I am the safest!” would have the highest ratings.

But that never happens.

The companies with the most — and the best — reviews win.
Every single time.

Because people don’t trust advertising.
People trust other people.

And in maritime, this is even stronger.

A shipowner’s opinion matters.
A captain’s experience matters.
A chief engineer’s comment is taken seriously.

Why?

Because these people carry real responsibility:

  • vessel
  • cargo
  • schedules
  • crew
  • delays
  • costs

So their words are not “promotion.”
Their words are proof.

And here is the simple truth:

**When you say good things about yourself, it sounds like advertising.

When a shipowner says good things about you, it becomes real trust.**

This is exactly why Rated Marine Services (RMS) exists.

Rated Marine Services (RMS) does not speak for you.
RMS makes the voices of shipowners, captains, and chief engineers visible.

Their reviews become your reputation.
Their experience becomes your credibility.
Their words work for you like a 24/7 sales engine.

Amazon grew this way.
Uber grew this way.
Airbnb grew this way.

Now it’s maritime’s turn.
