Technical management or full ship management is the maritime service rendered to maintain and operate vessels, as commissioned by a ship owner or charter. Rather than the ship owner, these duties can be performed via a third party ship manager.

Technical management includes the registration of vessels, operations, service, technical maintenance, as well as management of crew, it can also include the business and commercial management of a vessel, such as its chartering and financial administration.

These management services are undertaken by a dedicated technical department of TOSM. Including an expert team of marine engineers, procurement, information technology, quality, safety and environmental protection, insurance as well as financial and administration personnel. Furthermore, a variety of highly specialised software and systems enable the technical management department to manage all aspects of operations.
