It is always exciting to expect another edition of our MMSM Insights! There are just too many topics we want to discuss, so few a space available to write and seemingly not enough time to do all that we like to post. Although at occasions one would really like to do many things at a time, calling it multi-tasking if you make good or stupidity if you fail, many will […]

The vision statement is […]
My Dear Colleagues, The year 2015 is coming to an end. This has been an exciting year for us in terms of challenges. As its peak, the number of our managed ships was up to 23 but was reduced to 21. This was due to recycling as response to a very poor prevailing market. Hence, it is noteworthy how we have been of assistance to our principal. So I invite […]
There are so many things one would like to express yet so short a time or too small a space to do and to write. This is a very common expression. This is not a cry of complain but an expression of wanting to communicate. This is the second issue of our newsletter and I want to personally thank all of MMSM people both onboard and ashore for the very […]
