John Fletcher Supply Officer stated " Seven Seas Group General Manager and Alcon, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Seven Seas Group for always providing USNS Bridge Outstanding Support, our last Fujairah cargo on load was especially remarkable because the Seven Seas Group provided exceptional support in directing and managing the loading of over 950 Provisions pallets, including over 600 Freeze and Chill pallets in such a short time frame. After being deployed to the Gulf on MSC CLF ships for over 15 years, I have never seen anything like it before. I think USNS Bridge may have set an T-AOE record by loading over 600 Freeze and Chill pallets during 1 Event, all due the tireless efforts provided by Seven Seas Group personnel.

Captain Machado,

 

Sir, I was recently deployed to the gulf region as the USS DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER’s (CVN69) Food Service Officer and will yet again serve in that capacity since we are returning early next year.  I wanted to basically write a short note to say how great the Seven Seas Prime Vendor was to the IKE and our Airwing during the 2009 deployment in support of OEF.  Each and every replenishment event they came through with service beyond comparison in my 24 years in the Navy.  When I was in a bind they came through and made me look like a hero.   Bravo Zulu to SK, Deepu, Suresh, and Shabbir from the Dubai region and Dominic while we were in Bahrain.  Seven Seas should be commended for their commitment to our troops and their dedication to quality service second to none.  I look forward to having this team as our supporting vendor upon my return to the gulf.  Thank you sir.

 

Very respectfully,

 

Wayne Cummings, MCFE, CHM, CPFM, CWO3, SC, USN

As SACAGAWEA has now departed the 5th Fleet Operating Area, I just wanted to say thanks again for the world class support provided by the entire Seven Seas Team while SACAGAWEA was supplying the EISENHOWER Carrier Strike Group and coaltion ships. 

 

I would especially like to thank the outstanding customer service provided by SK and the direct pier support from Zubin.

 

Zubin was available for every event and every hot issue that arose while we were in-port.  He stayed on the pier until the load was completed and played a key role in ensuring the cargo was loaded safely, quickly, and accurately, to ensure it got to the proper ships who needed the cargo to continue their mission.  Our final load was a little bit unique as we had to segregate the EISENHOWER load into two seperate shipments, but due to Zubin's planning and attention to detail, it became an almost seamless evolution.

 

Thank you again for the great effort and I look forward to seeing you on our next Voyage.

 

Fair Winds and Following Seas,

Mark, CDR Mark R. Pimpo, SC, USN, MILDET OIC, SNS SACAGAWEA (T-AKE 2)

Team Seven Seas:

 

I just wanted to say thank you very much for the truly “world class” support you provided yesterday while SACAGAWEA loaded stores….your attention to detail and first rate customer service really made the difference in staging and identifying a split load for our customers.

 

From the warehouse workers, to my POC on the pier, Zubin, everyone did a great job.

 

Thank you again and I look forward to continuing to work with the true professionals at Seven Seas.

 

Sincerely,

Mark, CDR Mark R. Pimpo, SC, USN, MILDET OIC, USNS SACAGAWEA (T-AKE 2)

I am writing to thank each and everyone of you for all you kind and thoughtful assistance rendered to the USNS Sacagawea T-AKE-2 during the past few months and in particular during our last port visit to Jabel Ali, at which time there was a error in communication and as rare as it is; more than Fifteen needed line items were omitted from our processed food order.

I would like to thank you for your support during my year as CTF-53 Commodities Manager.  Your support has been outstanding, while supporting over 100 US and Coalition ship's from January 2007 to February 2008.  You were able to consistently provide a 98% fill rate during every month I was at the helm, which was outstanding considering we constantly barraged you with uneven spikes in demand throughout the year.  You were able to support the C5F customer during the months of Feb 07 - Jun 07 when there were 2 Carrier Strike Groups and 2 Expeditionary Strike Groups, this was a period of extremely high Prime Vendor Demand.  Thanks for all the hard work.  It has been great working
with Atul, and Team Seven Seas.  Thanks!

 

LT Ian Iliff, CTF-53, N-51A, Fleet Logistics Support Officer.

28-Jan-08

 I wanted to write and Thank You for your Very Fine Work in getting me the extra items I had asked for during this brief stop. Those Items came about because they had been ordered from another prime vendor at another port and your food order had also gone out due to the ten day lead time requirement. Therefore when the other prime vendor informed me that the items were not in stock – it was too late to order again from you and therefore was held for next out going food order. When my existing stock depleted I was requested by Master to get with you to procure. Again I appreciate your kind assistance. Thank You.

 

 James Claus, Chief Steward USNS Sacagawea.

14-Jan-08

I would like to express my gratitude to you for your efforts in making my job a success. The quality, loyalty and thoroughness you have shown in working with me to provide the best services has my highest commendation.

 

I would also like to thank the personnel at Seven Seas for going above and beyond the call of duty to provide prompt delivery of stores not just on delivery days but when the need arose to have a item the same day. And a special thanks to Mr. Bhagat in tracking my orders and ensuring communications were always open and my questions answered. This is truly remarkable, to have that level of service. I will impress upon the person who takes over for me of that service Seven Seas provides.

 

Also as an ending note I would like to mention the fact that it would be my pleasure and honor to work with you in the future should the opportunity present it self.

I would like to send from the USS ENTERPRISE (CVN-65), a hearty thank you and our sincere appreciation to the entire team for the OUTSTANDING cooperation to our fleet since August 2007 in this AOR, in support of Operation Iraq Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.

 

Your knowledge of the Navy’s needs and wants were very helpful in helping us to make a smooth transaction during all of our on-load events. Your team made it very easy for the entire ship to maintain mission readiness.

 

Your quality of product and service was excellent and can never be duplicated; you all are indeed the best in your business.

Once again, we convey our great appreciation to Venu Gopal, Atul Bhagat, Ruben, Predeep, Suresh and all others who were behind the front line, for their professional effort and CAN- DO attitude to complete our mission smoothly

I would like to take this time out to recognize and say thanks you for providing two outstanding workers of yours to help us out while import Jebel. Venu and Atul, these guys go above and beyond the call of duty to assist in any way possible and make things happen. Not only do they make things happen, but, they always provide positive feedback and service with a smile. This in turn, makes my job a lot easier and better manageable.  Their management capability is unmatched and rarely unseen in this day and time. Being a new FSO onboard a carrier is very difficult and without their help, I would be lost.  Their area of responsibility and outstanding support to the Naval forces is unique. Their customer service skills is 5 STAR and can never be matched, I would love to have them on my team any day. Again thanks and keep up the good work.

My friends at Seven Seas - I just want to take a moment to once again thank you all.  It has been a PLEASURE to work with such professionals as yourselves.

I know when we first got here. I could see in Deepu's eyes that it was going to be a long rotation.  But as time went by and with the help of Deepu and the driver's, we did get better.   If you notice I opened this E-mail with the word friend.  That word in my eyes has to be earned, and I feel every one of you has earned it.  I also want to thank you for giving me a tour of your Dubai location.  It was outstanding!!  What really caught my eye about that place was the, way the workers were treated.  They were treated as family, not as common workers.  I admire that.

I want to personally thank Mr. R. Venu Gopal for his superb customer service and outstanding hospitality to the Food Service Team and Supply Department on board the USS NIMITZ CVN-68.  Mr Venu Gopal consistently performed his demanding duties in an exemplary and highly professional manner maintaining exceptional communication and customer support with us during the in port period 28 May to 02 June 2007.  In addition, he consistently was in direct communication with us for all our food and other requirements in support of 4,700 Sailors onboard USS NIMITZ.  His tireless and unswerving commitment to customer service greatly enhanced the quality of life for every Sailor.   Mr. Venu Gopal executed, delivered and maintained the best quality customer service your company provides.  He is by far one of the best representatives I have had the pleasure of working with
.   He is a very valuable employee.
 
I also want to personally thank Mr Atul Bhagat for his excellent customer service and hospitality to the Food Service Team and Supply Department onboard the USS NIMITZ CVN-68.  He consistently and skillfully maintained communication with the Food Service Team’s requisition files and documents in an outstanding manner.  He was responsible for informing us of any items not available and provided substitutes in a timely manner that significantly increase the ship’s readiness in the Supply and Food Service DepartmentHe is an outstanding employee.

As we start our return to the states, I would like to take a minute to say thanks to you and your company for providing the USS Eisenhower crew their every request over the last seven months. This has been an outstanding experience starting back in September when you came for the per-deployment brief. Every item we requested was available to us on the first day in the 5th fleet AOR. The Seven Seas staff was outstanding every time the ship pulled into port. All our port visit were in Dubai and I cannot think of no one that did not enjoy the great service you provided at the IKE Beach Grill. Yourself and Mr. Atul were at our every request, this service is something I have not found anywhere else. I have talked to the ship store officer (sale officer) and he told me he wished he would have talked to you at the PDB because we always had almost a 100% fill rate every stores load.

I will surely pass on the all the deploying carriers that they are working with a class act and they need to be in contact with you before arriving to the 5th fleet AOR. I wish there was something we could do to show just how much your service has made a difference to the crew of the IKE everyday. You were able to provide fresh doughnut for our replenishment days. The crew enjoyed starbucks coffee grounds and bottled starbucks frappuccino. I know this may seem like small items but it made the difference to the crew who were out to sea working hard every day. In closing I would like to say thanks for making my job look easy and for taking care of the crew of this great ship. Please take care of yourself and your staff because you all are truly special.

03-Mar-07

I just wanted take a minute to say thanks for the outstanding service you and your company have provided over our last five month and during this inport period. You and your team consistently went out of your way to ensure all our food service request were provided. Just and example is how on a few minutes the ship required sandwich box lunches for the beach guard and you provided with no problem and a smile on your face. The quality of the food products have been great from all selection of fresh fruit and vegetable to the items that help lift the crew spirit from the Chocoloate moose royal ice cream for the C.O to the starbucks frappuccino for the officers and crew. I receive all the credit but I know its because of you and your team.

 

Also thanks for the tour of the plant. It is always great to see how much yopur company have grown since the last visit and to see if there is some items I could request that the crew have not seen yet and would put a smile on their face.

Greetings from the Northern Arabian Gulf. I wanted to let you know of the outstanding service we received from Seven Seas during our port visit of 14 - 18 December, 2006. The service provided was prompt, flexible, and easily the best we have received during our entire deployment. I had the pleasure of working primarily with Venu and Suresh, but we also received assistance from Atul, and Pradeep. Howard's Supply Officer, LT Stevens and I toured your impressive facility with Venu and the vision of your company is truly remarkable. Seven Seas sets the standard world-wide that very few companies can understand. We greatly appreciate your support and look forward to our next port call in Jebel Ali.

I would like to say thank you to Seven Seas for the outstanding support and services provided during our recent port visit in JEBEL ALI. I've visited many places and I can tell you this is by far one of the best I've encountered. The provisions we received were delivered on time and excellent quality. This is one of the best and smoothest port visits I've experienced during our time in the Gulf region.

I want to thank everyone involved, specifically Mr. Venu Gopal and Mr. O. Suresh
of Seven Seas for their professionalism and outstanding support. Even upon short notice, they both were able to provide and fulfill last minute requirements without any problem. The entire Food Service Team onboard USS SAIPAN (LHA 2) appreciate the extra effort and support during our visit. Please accept my thanks and appreciation for a superb job well executed. I take pride and comfort in knowing there's a prime vendor representative in Jebel Ali willing to support and provide for all our provision needs. Thanks again for making this an outstanding port visit.

We would like to take the time to say thank you to you and your staff of highly professionals. Clearly Top Notch, in the daily performance of their duties. Their kindness, thoughtfulness and attention to detail ensured our port visit to Dubai was an overwhelming success.

I just wanted to thank you and your staff for the outstanding support we received during our 2006 spring deployment. We were honored and privileged to have work with an organization that placed customer satisfaction as the number one priority. The quality of service you and your staff provided was unprecedented and you have set standards in which others will be judged. I would like to recognize a couple people in your organization who we ve called upon many times and each time always rendered total professionalism and personal attention to our situation. Regardless if we added, changed, modified, or just made last minute decisions regarding our food orders, we continued to receive quality customer service from VENU, ATUL, and SURESH. Perhaps they believe that the level of service they provided was just a part of the job, but we received it as a since of personal pride and dedication to their customers and for that again we just wanted to say thank you. I pray that you all have a safe and prosperous holiday season and we look forward to working with you again in the near future.

16-Jul-06

Just wanted to thank you coming to the Eisenhower PDB, It was the best to date. The brief you gave was outstanding and even more, the time you spent after the meeting to answer question for the supply officer of the ships was more than anyone had expected. Everyone had nothing but great things to say about you company and the way you all conduct business. The fact that you set in on the whole brief and answered question from the catalog on the food service side and the ship store made all that attended fill better about the ordering process.
 
You have truly set the standard for professional excellence for prime venders at a PBD. As we discussed please ensure all orders are process ASAP. and this will ensure no lap time in processing orders, in with some on the small ships food service division and ship store say they were having problem with. Please send my personnel thanks for you company for allowing you to come. I know you are a very important key to seven seas success and we would like to thank them for the time they allowed you to spend with the 13 ships in our battle group.  Also please send my regards to atul another great professional. Many thanks to all who made this trip possible.

I want to express my personal thanks, and the appreciation of our entire Ship, for the absolutely, professional manner in which our order for this inport was conducted.

Your ability to procure, and add, Special order items to our Delivery in a short period of time is most impressive, and your willingness to provide itemized Purchase Order Confirmation receipts is extremely helpful in our planning operation.

Additionally, all frozen items were packed correctly and arrived completely in frozen condition... a tribute to the shore side handling operations also. FFV and eggs were similarly contained and arrived in a correct temperate environment.

All-in-all, exactly how I recall the customer service being when I was here previously.

Donald Reed, Food Service Officer, USNS Mount Baker, US Navy

09-Sep-05

Thanks for ALL your assistance while I was out here. You have been a great help the whole time I have been out here. I have passed onto my counterpart how much help you have been. Best to you and your continued success! I hope the best for you.

I wanted to acknowledge the outstanding support we have received from your group, Seven Seas Shipchandlers LLC.  Since our arrival in the Fifth Fleet Area of Responsibility (AOR), we have received nothing but outstanding service and support.  Thank you very much and we greatly appreciate everything. 

Communication has been the primary reason to our success. Venu and Atul had been an outstanding ally to us.  We have successfully loaded over two million dollars of provisions in this area with about 95% fill rate.    This is so impressive considering the fact that you have to import most of the provisions you supply to us.  Additionally, your group aggressively sought and filled our specialty food requirements.  You should be justifiably proud of your group's accomplishments.  I am sure that the other ships Seven Seas would support in the future will reap tremendous benefits as well.

We visited your facility during our in port period.  We were totally awed in your operation.  The warehousing and inventory were spectacular.  The facility, security, filing, and communications were state of the art.   Seven Seas personnel were all professional.  Your group has all the tenets for a stellar operation.  With your support, no doubt we will continue to successfully meet the food service challenges in Fifth Fleet AOR.

We greatly appreciate everything you do for us and the fleet.

They have the ultimate understanding of the United States Navy and our mission while deployed to this part of the world.

They consistently went out of their way to ensure that I was provided the absolute best customer service and I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate their genuine concern and work ethic. Please pass my appreciation to all the great professionals at Seven Seas.

I would like to thank your Company for an outstanding job while our ship is deployed there in the Gulf, from August 2004 to April 2005. Our ship was always busy, most of the times just load and go the same day, your Company supported us 100 percent and sometimes we have to order special request not in Prime Vendor Catalog, still your Company delivered the items without hesitation.

I have been sailing with the U.S. Navy and Military Sealift Command with all these years ordering Provisions and your Company is one of the best, your Company is the only one putting the name of the items and how much in around in all the pallet,

To say that you and Seven Seas team did a fantastic job is really an understatement because you did more than that to provide the very best.

I will be leaving the Essex in a couple of days, heading to the USS Kitty Hawk to be the Stock Control Officer. It's only a matter of time, I know that I will be back in Dubai... but again, knowing that you're company will stay as strong as it is now, and even stronger.. no doubt in my mind, I'm in good hands.

The customer service attitude your employees displayed is one we like our Naval personnel to emulate on daily basis. It surpassed our expectations. All deliveries were timely, organized and well supervised. We could not ask for better situation for loading stores, organizing future loads, meeting the Food service needs of the United States war ship. The tour of your facilities were most impressive and enjoyable to my staff and I. I cannot begin to emphasize to you how important it is for us to keep our crew supplied with all of our in this AOR.

17-Jul-04

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for a job well done during a recent port call of the SPICA in Jebel Ali.

It is my understanding that the SPICA had a scheduled delivery for June 9, 2004 of approximately 350 pallets of provisions. The ship arrived in port a day early and contacted your company requesting delivery of all dry provisions as they had adequate stevedore support readily available for that day. By that same afternoon, your company had arranged delivery, which in turn expedited the next day's loading.

Your firm's immediate reponse to this request is a perfect example of customer service at its best. Your team's dedication to DSCP's Prime Vendor Program is outstanding. We continually receive positive feedback about the superior support Seven Seas provides our customers.

On behalf of our entire DSCP Team, please accept my since thanks for a job well done.

Capt. Jeffrey D. Bradley, SC, USN, Director, Subsistence, DSCP, Philadelphia

I'm CWO4 Scruggs, Food Service Officer, from the USS Wasp LHD-1. I wanted to let you know that your team provided outstanding service to our crew. They were prompt with the delivery and the produce was some of the finest ever tasted by crew members. I'd also like to mention the courteous and very professional manner in which Mr. Venu Gopal handled our requests.

Look forward to doing business with your team again in the near future.

R.E.Scruggs, Food Service Officer, USS Wasp, US Navy

As SPICA prepares to take a brief hiatus from the Gulf region, I just wanted to say thank you for the sustained superior support from Seven Seas. Your team of Atul Bhagat, Venu Gopal and Suresh (and the many faces behind the scenes) are undoubtedly among the most professional and customer focused Ship Chandlers that I have had the pleasure to work with in my 2 years onboard SPICA. Our recent AFS resupply cargo load is just one example of responsiveness of your organization. Approximately 350 pallets were scheduled for delivery on 9 June. When SPICA arrived in port late morning on 8 June, I noticed Shed 66 had sufficient lay down area to accomodate prestaged dry cargo. I remarked to Venu that it would be of great benefit if any trucks could deliver that afternoon as I had stevedore support available but little work for them due to changing mission tasking. In short order, Venu had arranged to have dry provisions arriving by 1400 that same afternoon allowing both ship's force and contracted personnel to work more efficiently. Moreover, we were also positioned to load cargo onboard immediately on the scheduled delivery day, ensuring overtime was not incurred by ship's force. Your teams rapid response was a clear "win" for both the Navy and your company.

SPICA looks forward to working again with the dedicated professionals of Seven Seas.

I would like to thank you for the opportunity to tour facilities and work with two outstanding associates O.N.Suresh and Atul Bhagat.

Suresh was a great host that showed professionalism as a Sales Executive during our visit. He guided us through your cold storage facilities and the adjacent port area. He was prompt for all our meetings and knowledgeable of all the services provided. Suresh guranteed on time delivery and the billing receipts were accurate and precise with a 100% fill rate, a percentage not usually obtained in this operating area.

Atul Bhagat, our customer representative for the ship has been prompt and efficient with all requests via email. Atul is knowledgeable of all catalog items and is willing to offer a feasible substitution for all requests.

Since our visit in April, we had other opportunities and port of calls. We worked with several other shipchandlers and husbanding agents, but your associates set the standard so high other agents can't compare to the service provided by Seven Seas.

Please extend our thanks and gratitude for the exceptional professionalism of your associates. I wish you continued success and growth with your new facility.

I would like to thank the Seven Seas team for "always" being responsive to the ever changing needs of our customers.

Thank you once more the hospitality that you have shown me and my officers during our last visit to Jebel Ali. Moreover, the two way feedback that we shared will help all of us to provide the best level of support to our fleet customers. The level of service provided by Seven Seas was truly excellent, and on those rare occasions when something seemed out of place, your representatives provided immediate corective action. I continue to enjoy your outstanding service this deployment and will be happy to share my positive comments once more with CTF53 and others.

I've been doing business with Seven Seas for more than two years and never had any problems with them. I would like to thank the team that assisted me during our loadout in Fujairah. Mr. R. Venugopal, Mr. O.N.Suresh and Mr. Murali Nambiar. With their assistance I was able to load approximately 429 pallets of provisions in less than four hours. Thank you very much for all your support.

Kinda like the idea of Customer Service Representative. Their presence alleviate the minor problems existing delivery and the receipts process. During an "emergency" pull-out, they responded within 8 hours notice. Visited the facilities in Jebel Ali, Dubai. More than capable of supporting multiple operations and Battle group. Most strongly recommended for the next contract.

It is with great pleasure that I extend my sincere appreciation for the outstanding service you and your team provided USNS Saturn (TAFS 10) from October 2003 through January 2004. During our deployment in direct support of operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom, your flexibility, logistics expertise and willingness to assist in any way possible contributed significantly to the success of our operations and the overall logistics operations in the Arabian Gulf. Because of your exemplary performance, Seven Seas Shipchandlers has established itself as a critical and valuable member of the Navy logistics team.

From my humble perspective, the entire evolution was executed in a seamless manner. The food quality looked to be exceptional, the boxes were labeled correctly, and were in excellent condition. I did not identify one expired product. I would be remiss if I did not mention the excellent quality fresh fruits and vegetables that we received. I never seen red
peppers so big! Palletization was outstanding. I completely understand the amount of effort that goes into planning these large scale operations. My cooks and I are looking forward to proudly serve these excellent products to our crew!

05-Dec-02

I would like to pose for a moment to say thanks for all the support your company provided while in your area of operation. Your staff has set the standard for the way service should be provided to the US Navy. All the product received were of the highest quality and reasonable price. My experience with the PV in Europe has been very good, High NIS rates and product that show up that we did not order. Since we departed from the gulf, my staff has commented to me on many occasion that they wish we were still receiving products from Seven seas. Your staff along with CTF-53 ensured that we were informed on all changes that occurred with our order, and offered a substitute. The High quality of service you provide is often talked about throughout the carriers. Every Food Service Officer that I talk with say that the service you provide is outstanding.

I would also like to say thanks for all the support your staff provided while we were in port. They were on the pier every day to ensure every thing the ship need was provided, without any questions being asked. Mr. Venu Gopal, is without question the best sales representative I have worked with overseas or in the states, This is my 3rd cruise on a carrier ( Two on USS Eisenhower and One on USS George Washington). Each time I came the service has gotten better. Others in your staff that truly stand out are Mr. Atul Bhagat who also was on the pier ensuring everything was running smoothly and providing service with a smile. As our deployment draws to an end, I would like to say you have truly set the standard for all to follow. Please keep up the high standard. All my fellow Food service officer on the carriers they look forward to working in your area.

22-Nov-02

My name is Senior Chief Louie S. Simon and I'm currently serving my last final years in the navy onboard the USNS San Jose (T-AFS 7). I also served two tours onboard USNS Spica (T-AFS 9) and one tour onboard the USNS Concord (T-AFS 5).

My purpose in writing to you is to let you know how grateful I'm for the superb logistics support that Mr. Venu Gopal has sustainably provided to us during my many years of doing business with Seven Seas. As you are well aware, we rely heavily on our ashore resources to accomplish our mission, and that's exactly what Mr. Venu Gopal has superbly done.

Throughout my tours on Spica, Concord and San Jose, Mr Venu Gopal has continuously supported us with the greatest customer service that you can imagine. I only mentioned these three ships for I was never stationed on the others. I'm however confident, that Mr. Venu Gopal has rendered the same level of support and extended the same professionalism to the other CLF ships that have visited your area of operation.

I have been doing business, on behalf of the U.S. Navy, with Mr Venu Gopal for so many years now. In those years, I've come to learned that I can always rely on him to respond promptly to any short fused requirements that I can throw at him. Today, he's still the same energetic, always smiling, customer oriented Seven Seas employee that I knew 10 years or so ago.

Soon I will end my naval career and retire after 28 years of dedicated service. With much pride and a bit of sadness, I must now extend my heartfelt thank you to Mr Venu Gopal. He's been truly an outstanding Seven Seas employee and a true logistician in every sense of the word.

"Fairwinds and Following Seas to you Venu and God bless"


SKCS (SW) Louie Simon,Senior Enlisted Advisor, Supply Department LCPO

21-Nov-02

As the USNS San Jose depart the Arabian Gulf, I would like to first of all extend my gratefulness for your outstanding support always.

In the past 11 years and 14 deployment to the Gulf, I always interface directly with Seven Seas being the Supply Officer on 3 ships (USNS Spica, USNS Niagara Falls and USNS San Jose) 1 Tanker, USNS Tippecanoe.

In all those years and numerous loading of food supplies in UAE your company always stands out. The consistency in the quality of Customer Service and excellent communication provided by Seven Seas has always been superb. The man behind the scene of the extraordinary outstanding support services provided by Seven Seas is Mr. Venu Gopal. This man is one of a kind.

I have loaded and dealt with the Prime Vendor in Guam, Bahrain and Japan as well as other navy contractors in numerous port of Australia, Thailand, Singapore, Hongkong, Djibuti, Saipan, Malaysia and Philippines. Mr. Venu Gopal is the "Best of the Best" and no one in the past 11 years can even match the quality and top notch Customer Service provided by him.

I would also like to extend my appreciation to Mr. Atul, Mr. Reji Abraham and Mr. Suresh. Seven Seas is an exceptionally outstanding company.
 

Fred Carmona, Supply Officer, USNS San Jose, US Navy

11-Oct-02

Thank you for your outstanding service to our installation. It is a pleasure working with you and your company. Your efforts to provide top quality food products to our facility do not go unnoticed.

My staff and I have really enjoyed our partnering meetings and look forward to further cultivating the positive relationship we have established. Your company's efforts to develop a food security program went above and beyond our initial expectations. Through your initiative and coordination we were able to develop a process that provides the appropriate level of security and oversight required to manage the large delivers received by the installation. Additionally, your willingness to partner and develop a list of high morale items to help prevent Not In Stock (NISs) occurences, have gone a long way in developing a solid food program for our deployed forces.

Again, we appreciate your efforts. Thank you for your support.

I wanted to take a moment of my time today as my time is coming to an end as Officer in Charge of Shed 66 to express not only how fortunate I have been to work with the professionals of Seven Seas but also how lucky the NAVY is to have them. As I leave Jebel Ali again I am without a doubt relieved and at ease knowing that the operating forces in the 5th Fleet have Seven Seas on their side. In my tenure here I have heard nothing but praise and laud for the customer service, quality of foods, and just all around making things happen at a moments notice by your company. Again thanks ever so much for everything you have done for me and the NAVY on a daily basis. I hope in the future our paths will cross again..

On behalf of the United States Armed Forces here at Camp Snoopy, the forces in our forward locations and myself, would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued dedication and hard work.

Since arriving here in Doha, you have consistently supported us in a way that is worthy of emulation. There has been nothing that we have requested, asked for or wanted, that you were unable to provide us with. Because of this, you have certainly made our job easy and most of all allowed us to accomplish our mission in a very timely manner. You are by far the most professional and dedicated to service organization that I have ever had the honor to do business with. I have heard on several occasions from others, that some things are impossible, bu you, Mr. Eapen, have made the impossible possible.

Again, thank you for all of your hard work, devotion and dedication to service that you have given us. I immensely look forward to working with you throughout the remainder of our mission here in Qatar. Again thank you!

Outstanding Support

I wanted to thank you and your Seven Seas Team for the warm hospitality and great support. Although I do not know everyone by name there are a few folks I would like to mention. First
are some of the men that work in the various warehouses. They are Allwyn Miranda, Laureence Johnson and Sunil. S. (Jebel Ali cold storage), Anbu Solomon (Jebel Ali dry storage), Vilas Dolas and N.Murugesan (Al Qouse Dry Stores). These are some of the most flexible people I have ever worked with. Not only did they work extraordinary back breaking hours, they adapted to change extremely well(i.e. last minute requirements and many, many schedule changes). 

Now there were a few people that I worked with in a more hands on type of situation. They were Murali Nambiar (Sales Representative, FUJ Branch), Anand Suveer (OPNS Assistant), O.N. Suresh (Sales Representative), and Atul V. Bhagath. I would like to start by saying that these individuals are the most knowledgeable and professionals I have ever had the pleasure to work with. We have a saying in the U.S. Navy and it is "CAN DO" but there is more to it than that. These personnel and the rest of your TEAM set the standard's of how others will be measured for a long time to come.

I have been in the Navy for 18 years and have never had this type of customer service before. As I have said to Atul and Venu, if anyone is thinking of starting any type of business they
should look no farther than Seven Seas to see exactly how it needs to be done. I do have one more person that I want to recognize and that is Venu Gopal (Port Manager) not only does Venu have all the characteristics that I mention above, however as you know I had a medical emergency late at night on the 18th of January. With nowhere to turn, I called the one person I knew I could count on and that was Venu. Not only did he contact Navy personnel, he also came to my apartment and facilitated medical transportation to the hospital. Just the sight of Venu made me feel some how that every thing would work out for me. Again I would like to thank you and your team for every thing. You do really set the standard.

As we depart, on behalf of the Rappahannock I would like to extend my deepest appreciation to all concern for providing us a prompt service and excellent quality of provision to sustain and meet our mission/operation at sea. It has been a pleasure doing business with a fine company (SevenSeas). Paalam, Sayonara and until then. 

Special thanks to Venu, Suresh and Atul for your untireless support.

Rolly Cortez, Chief Steward, USNS Rappahonnock, US Navy
