The Organization for Responsible Shipping Practices (ORSP)

ORSP is a leading international shipping watchdog organization that promotes responsible shipping across all maritime vessels, to include those carrying containers, bulk commodities, and project cargo. With a presence in several major ports around the world, we have established a reputation for reliability, efficiency, and results.

Our Values:
Safety and Security: We prioritize the safety and security of crews, vessels, and customers, adhering to the highest standards of maritime safety and security protocols.
Environmental Responsibility: We are committed to minimizing environmental footprint through the implementation of sustainable practices and adherence to international environmental regulations.
Compliance and Integrity: We encourage maritime integrity, transparency, and compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards, rejecting any involvement in illicit activities.

 

Our Stance on Illegal Activity:

At OSRP, we are resolute in our opposition to all forms of illegal activity in the maritime domain, including but not limited to:
Piracy and Armed Robbery: We condemn acts of piracy and armed robbery, and we work closely with law enforcement agencies and industry partners to prevent and respond to such incidents.
Smuggling and Trafficking: We do not tolerate any involvement in smuggling or trafficking activities, and we cooperate with authorities to prevent the transportation of illicit goods or persons.
Maritime Fraud: We maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards maritime fraud, including document falsification, cargo misdeclaration, and other forms of deceit.


Illegal STS practices:

Ship-to-ship (STS) transfers of oil pose significant risks to the marine environment, human safety, and the integrity of the shipping industry. These risks include:
-    Increased risk of oil spills: STS transfers involve the simultaneous presence of two vessels in close proximity, increasing the likelihood of collisions, leaks, or spills.
-    Operational hazards: STS transfers require precise maneuvering and communication between vessels, and any miscommunication or miscalculation can lead to accidents.
-    Inadequate safety measures: In some cases, STS transfers may be conducted without adequate safety protocols, training, or equipment, putting crew members and the environment at risk.
-    Potential for illicit activities: STS transfers can be used to disguise the origin or destination of oil cargo, potentially facilitating illicit activities such as oil smuggling or sanctions evasion.


Measures to Prevent Illicit Activities:
Robust Due Diligence: We conduct thorough background checks on all customers, partners, and vendors to ensure their legitimacy and compliance with international regulations.
Compliance Monitoring: We maintain a robust compliance program, monitoring our operations and reporting any suspicious activities to relevant authorities.
Industry Collaboration: We engage with industry partners, governments, and regulatory bodies to share best practices and stay informed about emerging threats and regulatory developments.
