This track walks the people inside a management-company organization, the operators overseeing portfolios of vessels, where cross-vessel visibility and delegated authority matter most, through how MBN will work when Management Company accounts arrive with v2, around January 2027. The role of Vessel Manager inside a vessel org is live today; the Management Company organization account itself is what's coming next.
A management company on MBN is the organization that oversees procurement across multiple vessel organizations. That work is structurally different from publishing tenders on a single vessel or bidding on tenders as a service provider. It involves portfolio visibility, delegated authority, and the cross-vessel patterns that only become useful when you can see them all in one place. Management Company accounts are not registerable yet, they arrive with v2, around January 2027, so this track teaches what your portfolio will look like in MBN and how portfolio visibility, delegation, and authority attribution all come online together then.
One lesson is available today. Two more arrive as MBN's milestones activate.
How MBN will expose your full portfolio in one place, open tenders across managed vessels, award histories, billing patterns, status of each vessel organization, and how to use it to inform conversations with vessel organizations once Management Company accounts open.
How delegated authority works in v2: the structure that lets a management company act on behalf of a vessel organization within explicit thresholds. Workroom oversight, change-order participation, commissioning involvement across the full portfolio.
Lesson 1 walks who will hold which authority on your management-company organization, and how portfolio visibility, delegation, and authority attribution all come online together when Management Company accounts arrive with v2, around January 2027.
