About Us

Values

The Odin Marine Group is a privately owned international marine service company, which has been continuously offering innovative and effective marine services for over four decades. We provide innovative services for freight, contracts, sales and purchase of vessels, new building projects, and demolition markets worldwide. Few brokerage companies can firmly claim that they are true leaders in all liquid markets including bulk shipments of chemicals and specialized products, clean and crude petroleum products, alcohols, and vegetable oils. Our international team of shipbrokers, operators, and analytic consultants has helped establish us as one of the world’s most diverse ship brokering firms. We have a collaborative global network of resources in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, strategically placed to serve the shipping industry worldwide. These locations over the years have enabled the Odin Marine Group to possess a robust closed network encompassing the broadest market coverage and intelligence within the most active shipping centers of the world.

The name Odin Marine symbolizes the ultimate in marine services, synchronizing the complexities of global shipping in the timely and orderly manner on which so many of our clients seek, expect, and rely. Our vast relationship-driven network of contacts within the chartering and ship owning communities and the strong relationships we have developed over the years have given us the ability to develop a great depth of knowledge in vessel chartering, products handling, port operations, maritime regulations, and access to world fleets.

Although the Odin Marine Group has expansive services throughout the world, we pride ourselves in never forgetting that each client must receive personal service. As a private company, we are uniquely equipped to provide our clients with the flexibility they require with comprehensive tanker brokering and consulting services thus ensuring safe, timely and cost-effective solutions to their needs.

History

A HISTORY OF SERVICE TO THE SHIPPING INDUSTRY

Founded in 1976, the Odin Marine Group commenced its activities primarily as a crude oil broker. Over the years it stayed true to its legacy of service to the shipping industry when it decided to aggressively expand into the chemical, products, and edible oil sectors. As the company grew and expanded, it began to flourish in the new and emerging markets. This required services that did not exist in the industry at the time and Odin capitalized on this by offering services before anyone else in the industry did. As a rising and innovative leader, Odin Marine expanded its global reach by establishing new offices in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Odin Marine Group offers innovative logistical services and shipping solutions that continue to separate us from our competition to this day. We have never rested, nor ever will rest, in searching, isolating, and putting into action services the industry will demand. History clearly shows our strong track record for being industry leaders, and we plan on continuing this insightful approach to all our business affairs. This attitude is ingrained in our culture and has launched Odin into the forefront of the industries we support.
