About Us

Maxwell Ship Management

At Maxwell Ship Management (MSM), we are more than just vessel managers – we are custodians of performance, safety, and trust at sea. Headquartered in Singapore, MSM was founded by a team of maritime professionals with deep roots in vessel operations and technical management. With decades of experience both ashore and onboard, we understand what it takes to keep vessels moving safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with the world’s most demanding maritime regulations.

At present, we manage an fleet of vessels, from general tankers to purpose-built product tankers, ranging from 741 DWT to 73,021 DWT: a versatile fleet which support regional bunkering operations of our clients, as well as to serve global shipping needs of international oil companies.

We specialize in the technical and commercial management of oil, offering a comprehensive suite of services including voyage execution, maintenance, crewing, vetting preparation, and emergency support. We operate in international waters and special limits of Singapore waters.

Our ship management philosophy is simple yet disciplined. Proactive.

Transparent. Efficient. Zero compromise on safety.

As a lean and focused organization, we combine operational agility with regulatory rigor — providing clients with the responsiveness of a boutique firm, and the standards of a global operator. Whether supporting a single vessel or managing a fleet, our mission remains the same:

To deliver reliable performance, uphold regulatory integrity, and earn our partners’ trust voyage after voyage.
