Who we Strive to Be
Vision Statement

How do we accomplish that
Mission Statement
Safely supply delivery services on time, in full, with zero accidents, spills, or incidents.
Our History
Our company history started with Captain Anders Williams, who created a small ship’s chandlery in Norfolk, VA in 1926. Originally based in downtown Norfolk, Anders Williams Ship Agency employees delivered necessities to vessels in the Port of Hampton Roads. Due to increasing demand for bulk marine lubricants, Marine Oil Service, “MOS”, was incorporated in 1958 and subsequently did its first bulk oil delivery using the newly purchased tanker Martin J. Hanley.
History of Innovation
Marine Oil Service accelerated its implementation of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 by building the first, small double-hulled tankers in the United States ten years in advance of the regulatory deadline.
Three double-hulled tankers are now deployed in New York Harbor and one in Virginia, with the construction of more in the planning phase.
We specialize in innovative solutions to difficult delivery scenarios.
