OSM SHIP MANAGEMENT AS

OSM is strategically split into three divisions – Ship Management, Crew Management and Offshore Management – this strategy has enabled the group to aggressively expand over its 23 years of operation. One notable area that is representative of this growth can be seen in Germany. In commenting on this OSM’s managing director of Ship Management Germany & Norway, Matthias Imrecke, says: “OSM Hamburg was established in 2009 with the aim of servicing the German and European markets with full technical and crew management services. As it stands today, our fleet includes two LR Panamax tankers, four Handymax tankers, three container vessels, 13 anchor handling vessels and platform supply vessels that we provide crewing for. We have noticed positive signs and trends in Germany and have grown by three units over the last five months in the container side of the business. Although this is a new segment for us in Hamburg we have anticipated this development for a long time and are prepared to handle the expansion. Traditionally, Germany has predominantly served as a tanker market, however, there are a lot of opportunities to develop this sector and expand in all directions where OSM is concerned.”
