Reputed ship manager, OSM Maritime Group (OSM), and world’s leading gas company, Teekay Gas, inked a manning agreement through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on 21^st December last year.

OSM’s uniqueness lies in taking care of their main assets – their people, and their people then taking the best care of their customer’s assets.

“It is a proud moment for OSM to have become partners with Teekay Gas in providing crewing services from India. We are looking at a very long and fruitful association with Teekay Gas.

“I am sure our very experienced team will provide world class services. We are also looking at more employment opportunities for Indian seafarers,” expressed Capt Vipan Talwar, Director, OSM Mumbai.

On the services OSM will offer, Capt Talwar informs, “We will be looking after seafarer joining formalities, which will include documentation, visas, airline bookings, and any other requirements.”

“OSM Maritime Group is very excited to have been trusted as a partner for Teekay Gas to facilitate the onboarding of the Teekay officers from OSM office in Mumbai. This is a recognition of the service the OSM Maritime Group is offering to our clients, and we will do our utmost to make this a successful journey going forward,” said Peter Burkal, MD, OSM Crew Management.

On OSM’s presence in India, Mr Burkal highlighted, “OSM Maritime Group has been present in India for more than 20 years – but only in 2019 opened up a 100 % fully owned office in Mumbai. Furthermore, OSM has its own office in Chennai and is therefore well positioned for further growth and expansion in India.”

OSM is a proud employer of more than 17,000 people of 60+ nationalities. Besides India, it maintains manning offices in the United Kingdom, Norway, Denmark, Croatia, Poland, Latvia, Ukraine, Russia, the Philippines, Australia, Brazil and Mexico.
