Through a commitment to health, safety, quality and environmental stewardship, OSG seeks to ensure that each seafarer returns home safely after an assignment, the environmental impact of vessel operations is minimized and customers are completely satisfied by the service the Company provides.

Vision
Our vision is to be the most respected energy transportation company in the world. Central to our vision is providing reliable transportation to our customers while protecting our crews, vessels and the environment; and creating a rewarding and challenging workplace for our seafarers and shoreside employees.

Mission
OSG is a world-class provider of energy transportation services with superior customer relationships, talented ship and shore-based staff and high operational standards. We aim to achieve this mission by developing strong relationships with customers by listening to their needs and providing the best advice and service we can; continuously improving and innovating; operating with integrity; and recognizing that our people are the heart of our business.

In-house Technical Management
OSG believes that in-house technical management offers customers a high level of service through a well-maintained fleet operated by experienced officers and crews. This approach is not standard in the industry and reflects a commitment on the Company's part to manage directly every aspect of technical operations. By doing so, OSG seeks to ensure integrity, consistency of standards; and a greater degree of quality control over vessel operations both at sea and at shore.

As a major international shipping company; OSG adheres to strong corporate governance practices throughout its business. The Company is committed to a philosophy of continual improvement throughout ship and shoreside operations and providing mariners a safe, high quality place to work in an environment where they can thrive professionally.

Our safety and compliance culture continues grow within our fleet, a reflection of the leadership and commitment displayed every day by our senior officers and shoreside staff.
