Wallenius Marine is a Swedish shipping company providing Ship Management and Ship Design/Newbuilding services. Our vision is to lead the way toward truly sustainable shipping. To get there, we believe in innovative design, sustaintech, digitalization, and partnerships. In recent years, we have built energy-efficient multi-fuel vessels and LNG/battery hybrids. We also design concepts for wind-powered cargo ships that emit 90% less air pollution than today's most energy-efficient vessels. As part of our team, you'll be involved in driving projects that set new standards and shape the future of shipping.
Our main business areas are:
• Ship Management: We are responsible for technical management and crewing of vessels for customers worldwide. Through close collaboration with our customers, we optimize vessel lifespan and operations, always with sustainability and innovation in focus.
• Ship Design and Newbuilding: Since the mid-1990s, we have delivered nearly 70 new constructions and conversions – a legacy we are proud of and building upon. Together, we can create the next chapter in shipping history.
Wallenius Marine is part of the family-owned Soya Group, which has been a pioneer in the global shipping industry since 1934. Read more at soyagroup.com
