[By: MTM Ship Management]

Tristar Eships and MTM Ship Management announce the formation of Tristar-MTM Ship Management Pte Ltd, established to maximize value retention for ship owners and investors across the GCC, Africa and worldwide. Headquartered in Singapore with offices in Athens, Dubai and Mumbai, the Joint Venture will be managed by an independent team of ship management professionals overseen by senior members of the Tristar Eships and MTM Ship Management organizations.

Tristar-MTM Ship Management manages vessels from the Tristar Eships fleet and will pursue 3rd party tonnage in due course. MTM’s long experience with both chemical tankers and dry cargo vessels provides Tristar-MTM Ship Management with a full-service solution for owners seeking bespoke management for their vessels.

Tim Coffin, CEO of Tristar Eships, commented: “Both Tristar and the MTM Group are ship owners first, so we are inherently sensitive to value and maximizing service to charterers. Meanwhile, we all have regulatory and technical challenges ahead. We observed a gap in the market to respond to the bespoke needs of owners in our region. Partnering with a first-class ship manager with a similar focus on value delivers a solution to ship owners across our region and beyond.”

For his part, Rajiv Singhal, Managing Director of MTM Ship Management said: “We share the same values of safety, transparency, and service excellence. With a combined experience of 70 years, Tristar-MTM will focus on all aspects of quality ship management by providing tailored services with a unique competitive edge; a ship owners’ perspective on ship management and what lays ahead in the technological era.”
