With this vision, our commitment, and our dedication, we will remain true to our mission of being a world-class shipper of liquid bulk commodities.”

OSG has also successfully completed the installation of ballast water treatment systems for its entire fleet. The significant capital invested allows the Company to minimize its ecological impact on the waters in which its vessels sail.
The Sustainability Report also announces goals to reduce the carbon emissions of OSG’s fleet, describing operational efficiencies, investments, and collaboration efforts that will add up to meaningful reductions.
The Sustainability Report is issued in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report and Proxy Statement, which together present a collective view of the Company’s performance and activities.
