Oslo Shipbrokers a.s was established in August, 1987.

The founding partners all have in excess of 20 years experience, individually, in the international shipbroking profession and four partners remain active in the Company today. Additionally, the Company's capacity has been increased by young, well educated individuals and the staff now totals 6 brokers.

The Company is independent with the shares controlled by the partners / employees. The size of the Company may not be large in an overall sense but is substantial in terms of its volume of shipsale and purchase transactions. At the same time, its small staff easily enables the Company to discreetly handle confidential business.

Based in Oslo, the Company logically has a strong foothold in the Norwegian and other Scandinavian markets. Nevertheless, it has also sought to develop and maintain a continuous dialogue with many foreign clients on a world-wide basis. As a result, the Company has always done even more international - than Scandinavian originated - business.

Although the sale and purchase of existing ships is the core of the Company's business, transactions and service within the fields of Contracting newbuildings, Valuations, Consultancy and Arrangement of longterm period employment are a regular part of its activity.

The Company is a member of the International Transport Intermediaries Club Limited, London, which is the recognised Professional Indemnity Insurance Club for the shipbroking profession.
