THE LARGEST CHARTERING
COMPANY IN HUNGARY
OVST is already the largest chartering company in Hungary, with ownership of significant world-class assets across the value chain.

Our mission is to build from this powerful base to become a national champion of efficiency and good corporate governance that unlocks maximum value for all shareholders.
MISSION
ABOUT US
OVER SEAT TRADE (OVST) is a new company with a long history.
It all starts with a market leader whose products are in demand worldwide – but these products are made of metal, and are therefore as heavy as they are unwieldy.
There is no satisfactory solution available for loading them into containers.
So the company takes it upon itself to develop a solution: Simple, fast, secure. At the push of a button.

This gives rise to additional in-house logistics products. And the result is an extensive range – and ultimately us. Good ideas can finally be actively marketed and made available for use, ideally tailored to your requirements. And always evolving.

Because we of course also have a very dynamic development department. We operate internationally as well, having already gained a foothold in the EU market. We look forward to working with you and writing new chapters of a history that’s worth living.
OVST'S VALUES 
To the end, OVST's core values are:
TRANSPARENCY

We are becoming an open, modern company. We believe that transparency leads to stronger performance, ultimately benefiting all stakeholders – including shareholders, employees and the wider community.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
We are conscious of our role in the regions where we operate both as a major employer and a producer responsible for protecting the environment
EFFICIENCY

We constantly seek to streamline our business, to achieve outstanding results while employing optimal resources. This is just as true of our production divisions as it is of the financial management of the company.

EXCELLENCE

We insist on quality in everything we do. Whether legal preparing to freight or legal support, our employees are dedicated to reach the very highest standards of quality.

CAREER IN THE COMPANY
We do our best to ensure our employees’ professional and career development. We welcome both young and experienced professionals who want to grow and be part of the nation-scale company. OVST engages talented employees who are team players, can complete their tasks responsibly, are result-oriented, and are not afraid of taking initiative.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF OVST
Overestimating the importance of OVST as that of an employer in the Hungarian labor market would be difficult. 
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
OVST is a socially responsible company and employs people with disabilities. On average, our employees are paid 10% more than their colleagues in other companies. Furthermore, OVST offers a full social-benefits package, a paid annual vacation of 24 calendar days, a concession-lending system, participation in the private pension fund program, travel vouchers at discounted prices for adults and children.
CARE FOR NATURE
OVST is a “green company”. No other Hungarian companies maintain so many environmental protection programs. The entire document turnover is electronic, therefore we use practically no paper. OVST carries out volunteer clean-up activities annually, which anyone may participate in.
CHARITY
OVST is a socially responsible company. We support various charitable foundations that regularly provide assistance to orphanages and boarding schools, helping children with cancer, as well as people affected by natural disasters or terrorist attacks.

Private, flexible, voluntary and efficient ADR proceeding is a perfect and reasonable choice in business disputes of all kinds.

Our role: we act as a neutral third party that works with the parties (i) to build constructive cooperation, (ii) to help parties have their conflict resolved impartially, and (iii) to find mutually acceptable solutions to controversies.
We offer a wide variety of approaches to have conflicts settled, namely:

  1. negotiations between parties and representatives
  2. facilitation – collective solution of the problem
  3. mediation
  4. GR – negotiations with local and central authorities, as well as international institutions

The team participates in drafting the legal landscape of alternative dispute resolution.

GR: investing into credibility and reputation, we are respected among government agencies and international institutions, which allows us to effectively address client issues.

Individual approach: for a project of any dimension, we build a customized task force with the right combination of transactional and regulatory expertise.
