THE OSM Thome BRAND STORY
The OSM Maritime Group and Thome Group have merged. By joining forces, the companies will build an even stronger platform to deliver world-class ship management services to their customers and continue improving.
The combined company is called OSM Thome.
Both OSM Maritime and Thome are deeply rooted in the Norwegian shipping tradition and expertise, and they combine this with the modern drive of Asian business enterprise.
Many of the world’s leading shipping companies are customers of OSM and Thome and the mixed fleet consists of different segments such as tanker, bulker, container, car carriers, cruise ships and offshore vessels, and others.
The new branding has been created to reflect these two powerhouses coming together. A two-coloured arrowhead icon has been designed with the two sides meeting at a vertex to reflect the merger of these two industry pillars which share the same heritage and vision of the future.
The use of the blue and red colours symbolizes two equal partners joining forces to create an even stronger powerhouse in ship management with a clear strategy of promoting a sustainable future in maritime. It echoes the origins of the two companies, derived from the colours of Norway’s national flag. The arrow points upwards to symbolize the forwarding looking nature of OSM Thome and that the company is always at the cutting edge of the latest technology. The rounded bend in the middle of the arrow symbolizes harmony and blending.
The typeface chosen for the company name is strong, very modern, and sleek to illustrate the ability of OSM Thome to change and adapt to the prevailing market conditions.
The new branding is a physical representation of our commitment to providing the highest standards of safety, quality, and reliability to our clients, focusing on ESG and compliance.
We will leverage the technological advancements and support green initiatives to optimize operations and realise efficiencies in our customer’s fleets. We believe that our combined efforts will enable us to achieve this goal even more effectively. Together, we will build a greater team and a stronger organization. United as one company, OSM Thome.
