Shipping manager OSM has formed a joint venture with Ventis to crew K Line's LNG carrier fleet

Ventis, a crewing agency that already works with K Line, signed the deal in Manila last week, OSM said.

They will provide Filipino seafarers for the Japanese owner's gas carriers.

Tommy Olofsen, managing director of OSM Crew Management, said the agreement marked a "significant milestone" in its relationship with K Line.
