Annually, Ocean Shipholdings, Inc. honors a “Seaman of the Year” to show our appreciation for the hard work and dedication that embodies the same work ethic found in OSI’s former Chief Mate, Peter Cornelus Hulsebosch.

He started sailing with OSI in 1985 as an AB when he helped delivered the Gianella from the yard. He returned to the Gianella during the Gulf War in 1991 as a Bosun and worked his way up through the officer ranks and in 1998 returned as the Chief Mate of the Gianella. A fitting place for Pete to end his career.

During this year’s 2010 “Seaman of the Year” Award there were three men selected: Adam Jacob Brown, Colin Michael Adler and James Muldowney.
