HISTORY

Minerva Marine Inc. was established in 1996 and to this day remains a private and independent company.

Minerva quickly grew from a tanker manager of 6 vessels to the committed Aframax operational leader that it is today. Minerva has further expanded its operations to include, from MRs to VLCCs (Chemical Product and crude oil carriers) in the tanker segment, and Capesize in the bulker segment.

Today, Minerva has established business with all major oil companies, while it has grown into a valued ice partner for most of the Baltic charterers. The company continues to engage in new business partnerships, having the customers’ ever-changing needs always at the forefront.

MAXIMUM QUALITY THROUGH SUPERIOR MANAGEMENT
Minerva is committed to delivering quality service whilst maintaining its responsibility to its people, clients and the environment. The challenging environment we operate in requires strict policies and procedures to be in place so as to reduce exposure to both identified and unidentified risks. Furthermore, continuous adaptability to all mandatory and statutory rules and regulations is imperative in order to reduce operational risks, and to establish all necessary safeguards.

To be able to meet these expectations, and to earn the confidence of our clients, we maintain a robust Safety, Security, Quality and Environmental Management system in compliance with ISM & ISPS Codes, ISO 9001, 14001 and 18001 requirements. We monitor and review our policies and procedures on a regular basis to ensure they remain relevant and effective, and we organize arduous training courses and simulations to further educate our employees to perform their duties to the best of their abilities.

In addition, our people benefit from a personal development plan and on-going training programs that provide them with the skills and drive required to meet and go beyond our clients’ needs and to achieve their professional career aspirations.
