The Onassis Shipping legend lives on…

Aristotle S. Onassis initially founded his shipping enterprise in New York while in 1952 he established Olympic Maritime in Paris in order to manage his shipping assets from Europe. In 1953, Olympic transferred its offices to Monte Carlo where it remained until 1997. In 1990, Olympic Maritime was renamed to Olympic Shipping and Management S.A.  Since 1997 its main branch has been operating in P. Phaleron, Athens, Greece from where it acts as principal agent of the fleet. Currently the fleet comprises 16 crude oil tankers, with technical management assigned to Springfield Shipping Co. Panama S.A. 

Olympic’s greatest strength is the people manning the fleet as well as those who work ashore. Our efforts will always be aimed towards the improvement of our quality systems by providing seafarers and office staff through continuous training the necessary skills and support in order to perform their duties safely, efficiently and effectively. Our seafarers are the oxygen of our business and the most valued part of our team as it is them who operate the ships every day. Their safety and wellbeing is our main priority.

There is great collaboration between officers on board and shore personnel. We take pride in assembling a strong team of senior level experts and the most promising, young professionals in order to create a management structure that combines experience with passion and the desire for continuous improvement. We constantly invest in our human capital, by offering them the environment and the opportunities to realise their potential and evolve both professionally and personally.
