Vision, Mission and Values

4.  NSMS is experienced in providing Ship Management services to Owners of LPG,
Oil and Product Tankers. Each Group of Technical and Operations Management is
structured around centers of competency – fleets of certain ship types – to
ensure the ships are handled by our team who understands your business and
are centrally controlled to ensure uniform high standards.
 Crew Management is an independent division within North Star and was
established for the sole purpose of supplying crew to third party clients. Within
the company, we are further subdivided to focus specialist resources towards
particular markets. This structure allows us to concentrate totally on our
contracted clients and avoids the internal conflicts often faced by ship
management companies offering a similar service.
 In addition to managing the crew of vessels in full management, North Star
provides crewing services to a number of third party clients.
