Crew Voices
"Ozellar Marine renders a family atmosphere and shore support which every seafarer requires."
Capt. Selvakumar
GCL Saraswati
"The word has a powerful but unique meaning where the word Ozella stands for God's strength or strength of God, and similarly the company has been founded on the strength of likeminded people who believe strength of an organisation is not its structure but the core of the structure which is the people of the organisation. People with like-minded values, ethics and ethos. An organisation which believes sky is the limit when teamwork is the basic framework of a working culture."
Capt. Tudekar
AM KIRTI
"I am currently on a challenging ship, but the onboard team is excellent. Full credit goes to the Ozellar shore team for selecting the right people for the vessel."
Capt. Thomas
GCL NARMADA
"Ozellar Marine fosters an environment where Masters are encouraged to contribute beyond routine operations. Having sailed this vessel multiple times, I have seen my operational inputs positively reflected in shipboard practices. The ease of communication with the office and the company's family-oriented culture creates a strong sense of belonging while maintaining professionalism and accountability."
Capt. Shankar
GCL SABARMATI
"As a newcomer to Ozellar Marine, initial reservations melted away with the warm Chennai office welcome, insightful briefings, and rooftop feasts; four months on GCL Sabarmati, proactive support through every challenge and full trust in seafarers have built unshakeable confidence, fueling pride in this thriving company's growth."
Mayank Chaturvedi
Chief Engineer – GCL SABARMATI
"I am sincerely grateful to Ozellar Marine's management for the trust shown through my promotion to Chief Engineer. The company's strong culture of safety, technical excellence, and continuous improvement fosters professional growth via responsibility and collaboration. I eagerly anticipate contributing further to safe operations, efficient machinery management, and the company's sustained growth."

Life in the Office of Ozellar:
Where Awesome meets Stellar - and goes for coffee!
The Vibe
It's not your average corporate maze. Think of it as a lighthouse: bright, purposeful, and built to weather any storm – with a soundtrack that alternates between waves and laughter.
People walk in with salt in their hair (figuratively… most days), ideas bubbling, and a deep belief that work can be both meaningful and fun. There's clarity in our mission and mischief in our Slack emojis.
The Office Crew
Titles here don't float on ego – they sail on impact. Everyone is part of a crew, not a chain of command. We believe in high fives, not hierarchies. You'll often hear phrases like:
"Let's ship it!" (even if it's just a spreadsheet)
"Is that seaworthy?" (about that new idea)
"Catch you on the starboard side" (aka the coffee machine!)
The Culture
Purpose over paperwork: We keep things lean and ocean-clean. No bloated bureaucracy.
Courage counts: We reward boldness, even if it means course-correcting later.
Fun is fuel: From pirate-themed brainstorms to "Friday Docktails," we believe fun keeps the fire burning.
Systems are sexy: Smooth operations are our love language. If it clicks and hums, it belongs here.
Orange & Green Living
Our brand colors aren't just pretty – they're guiding stars.
Orange: Energy. Vision. That spark of "why not?"
Green: Balance. Growth. Sustainability in every sense – ecological, emotional, and economic.
Daily Routine
Morning standups: Short, sharp, and with good coffee.
Midday check-ins: Pulse on progress, with a side of memes.
End-of-day gratitude: Quick shoutouts, wins (big or tiny), and the occasional "What a tide!"
Oh, and the Office?
Inspired by a ship’s bridge, the office is bright, open, and uncluttered, with inviting spaces to focus, connect with teammates, take a call, or just pause and breathe.
