What Omicron Ship Management does

Omicron Ship Management Inc is a privately held ship management firm headquartered in Kallithea, Athens, Greece, incorporated in Liberia (registration number C-104537). The company provides integrated management services to owners of dry bulk carriers, organized around five service modules: Commercial Management (in-house chartering), Technical Management (maintenance, regulatory and MARPOL compliance), Crew Management (recruitment, training, payroll, welfare), Operations (voyage execution), and HSQE (Health, Safety, Quality, Environment). The firm currently manages a fleet of eight bulk carriers — Omicron Nikos, Sky, Titina, Atlas, Eagle, Pearl, Breeze, and Octo — all built in Japanese shipyards between 2003 and 2011, with deadweights ranging from approximately 61,500 MT to 81,400 MT, all RINA-classed and flagged in Liberia.

The company generates revenue through contractual B2B managed services agreements with ship owners in the international dry bulk shipping sector, combining fixed management fees with commercial brokerage activity. Its go-to-market is relationship-driven enterprise sales, supported by memberships in HELMEPA, BIMCO, INTERCARGO, and IMEC, and a corporate website (omicronships.gr) as the primary marketing channel. Headcount is reported in the 11–50 range, consistent with a boutique-scale manager focused on quality of service rather than scale of fleet. Ownership is private with no disclosed parent, institutional investors, or funding rounds, and no M&A activity or financial transactions are documented in available sources.
