Years together
#50yearstogether
KPI OceanConnect has been a trusted, transparent, and innovative partner to shipowners and operators across the globe since 1971.
We have stood alongside our clients throughout the industry’s biggest transformations for 50 years, and we will continue to provide the expert guidance and insights they need to facilitate their smooth transitions into shipping’s fourth energy revolution.
Our dynamic team is the reason we are able to celebrate our 50th year of operations. It is their dedicated service, hard work and embodiment of our values of being passionate, knowledgeable, agile, reliable, and innovative that have enabled us to help our partners unlock their full potential.
Over the past five decades, our passion to build stronger relationships, strengthen loyalty, and achieve our goals has driven us to gain rich experience and knowledge, and forge enduring partnerships throughout the shipping industry.
We have built our company on a people-first approach valuing equality, cooperation, community, and sustainability. At the heart of our organisation is our commitment to connecting people and putting relationships first, and with that we deliver high-quality marine energy, lubricants, and expert advice to the global maritime industry.
