Our Story

About OSS Maritime Group

38 years of maritime excellence, from a single Melbourne warehouse to Australia's most comprehensive ship supply network.

38 Years of
Maritime Excellence

Founded in Melbourne in 1987, OSS Maritime Group has grown from a single-port operation into Australia's most comprehensive maritime supply group. With three office locations and ten distribution hubs spanning four states, we serve merchant vessels, naval ships, offshore platforms, bulk carriers, container ships, and cruise liners at every Australian port — even the most remote.

Our reputation is built on one simple promise: whatever your vessel needs, wherever it calls in Australia, we deliver — on time, every time. From replenishing technical stores and supplying critical spare parts from our extensive local inventory, to coordinating hull cleaning and guiding captains through AMSA compliance, OSS Maritime is the partner that keeps your vessel moving.

Our multilingual team communicates fluently in English, 中文, 日本語, Tagalog, and 廣東話 — ensuring seamless coordination with operators and vessels from across Asia and the Pacific.
