Minerva Marine Inc.
Minerva Marine Inc. was founded in 1996 managing a modest oil tanker fleet of just 7 ships. Minerva consciously strengthened its position within the ice class tanker segment by adding seven Aframax crude carriers in 2002 under its management. Since then, both the management and the personnel have gained vast experience in managing and operating a solid fleet of ice strengthened 1A/1B and 1C crude carriers (from Medium Range up to Suezmax) and coated product carriers (up to Long Range 2) in the ice-infested waters of the Baltic. As a result the company has grown into a valued ice partner for most of the Baltic charterers. Today, the company manages a tanker fleet of approximately 5.7 million dwt cargo capacity. As a ship management company, Minerva’s core value is “safety first”, planned ashore and practiced on board, while maintaining a dedication to quality service, innovation and commitment to a continuous dynamic growth. Managing a young and well maintained fleet, meeting new industry requirements, whilst complying with all applicable rules and regulations, the company aims to provide superior client service offering Maximum Quality and striving for Zero Casualties.
