Fully integrated ship management

Odfjell is one of the few global shipping companies with a fully integrated operating model. Our ship management department offers complete in-house services, from crewing and QHSSE to technology support and energy-efficiency solutions.

The performance of our operations depends on the condition of our vessels and the expertise of our people at sea and on shore. Managing both to the highest standards is fundamental to delivering safe, reliable and efficient services.

Odfjell Ship Management brings these capabilities together through integrated processes that support every stage of vessel operations. Its responsibilities include crewing, QHSSE, technology and digital innovation, newbuilding, energy efficiency initiatives and technical fleet management. Across a fleet of around 70 vessels, Odfjell provides technical management for approximately 50.

Safety and quality at the core

Odfjell transports some of the world’s most hazardous chemicals, making safety and competence fundamental to everything we do. Building and maintaining a world-class safety culture is our highest priority, reflected in our strong performance in safety, vetting and port state control.

Our fleet complies with all applicable international and national maritime regulations, including those established by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Compliance is verified through recognized classification societies and Flag States. We also maintain an environmental management system that is audited several times each year through the Tanker Management Self-Assessment (TMSA) program and reported to OCIMF.

Odfjell’s Ship Management team is one of the most complete of its kind in Europe – not only in the chemical tanker segment, but in the industry as a whole.
