Our Values

Our Goal is to be the best at independent containship operation, finance, management and ownership.

Seaspan is a rapidly growing provider of high quality tonnage to the world’s leading container liner companies.

To realize our vision, we have worked with our partners in the liner companies, lenders, classification societies, design houses, and shipyards to fund, develop, construct and operate vessels that fully meet the needs and expectations of our clients. SSML’s strength is built on long term relationships with our key stakeholders.

Seaspan is a leader in operating efficiently in a low carbon, low emission world. In expanding our fleet, we strive to balance the cost effectiveness of our operations and capital expenditures with our desire to maximize the energy efficiency of our vessels.

Our core values are:

  • Safety: “Safe and reliable operations and preservation of the assets” – we want to maintain and operate our vessels so they hold their value for years. Safety is the most important part as without safety, effective and efficient doesn’t matter
  • Cooperation: Long term relationships are important to us – with our charterers, employees, shipyards, vendors, investors. The founders of the company are also committed to the company as demonstrated by their ongoing support and involvement in the company.
  • Innovation: Focus on the future.
  • Excellence: SSML applies public company policies and standards to both the manager and owner companies– we ensure there is transparency to all stakeholders. Sound approach to risk management and internal controls
  • Diversity: We have a very multinational team and that is reflected at all levels of the company.
  • Stability: Distinct and exceptional corporate model. It is the first of its kind, emulated by several other companies.
