‘We have the experience to deliver tailor-made services’ Exmar Ship management is a successful and innovative maritime and offshore asset management business. We owe our achievements to the unique skill set of our people at sea and those who support them on shore. Our know-how and innovative approach towards crewing, operating and maintaining LPG, LNG and Offshore units enables us to partner with external clients in a rather unique way compared to a traditional customer relationship between a ship owner and ship management services provider. Our technical specialists are able to foster genuine innovation based on transparent and productive relationships with our customers, who are typically looking for a strategic partnership over a long period of time.
With decades of experience accumulated in managing LPG and LNG fleets, the company has now transformed itself into a major international player, establishing industry standards with classification societies and maritime organizations on crewing, commissioning, operating and maintaining Floating Liquefaction Storage Units, Floating regasification Storage Units and vessels specialised in performing ship-to-ship transfers of LNG.
In a constantly changing world, it is our firm belief that continuous improvement is only demonstrable in practice if both parties are willing and able to share their knowledge and skills in an open manner. We have an outwardlooking approach to use best practices from other industries and apply modern management techniques such as Lean Six Sigma to match ever-changing needs. Good governance is critical, as is a determined and focused effort on health and safety. It’s also these beliefs that hold the key to unlocking our true potential in terms of what we can offer in new and exciting advances in the safe and efficient storage and transportation of natural and petroleum gas. Our ultimate measure of success is measured beyond the bottom line and our customers’ satisfaction levels.
at Exmar Ship management, our aim is to use the experience and knowledge we acquire on a daily basis to contribute further innovations and technological advances to meet growing global demand for gas as a safe, clean source of energy.

A pioneer in managing floating assets In the complex world of LPG and LNG, we have developed specialized services for clients looking to find innovative means of storing, transporting and transshipping gas and chemicals in both liquefied and gaseous states. Having performed the first commercial ship-to-ship LNG transfer, we are now preparing to operate the world’s first floating liquefaction, regasification and storage units. We also constantly innovate in the way we manage assets operating in extreme conditions, from LPG vessels trading in the hostile conditions of the North Sea to offshore barges and FPSOs off the African coast.

Offshore LNG Toscana Customer profile In 2010, EXMAR Ship Management won the contract to operate and maintain the OLT-owned FSRU Toscana, which was converted by Saipem from an LNG ship into a floating LNG terminal. To build the right organization around the customer’s requirements from the start, EXMAR Ship Management established a joint venture with Italian crewing specialist Fratelli Cosulich, creating EXMAR Cosulich Off shore Services (ECOS). The ECOS A-Team provided technical consultancy services during the conversion, ensuring that operational aspects were taken into account during the design and construction process. Potential technical issues that might have made a commercial impact were identified and rectified in due time, and the management system for the unit was set up in line with all applicable regulations and industry standards. A number of engine and deck officers who were involved at that stage of the project have now taken up key positions onboard specifically for re-gasification operations.
