Wilhelmsen, founded in Norway in 1861, is a global maritime group supporting over half of the world’s merchant fleet. The group is also a major shareholder in Wallenius Wilhelmsen, a leading global provider of RoRo shipping and logistics services.

As part of this legacy, Wilhelmsen New Energy has an ambition to build and drive industrial positions within the maritime energy value chain and the energy transition, including oil & gas and renewables, with a leading presence in offshore wind service vessels through Edda Wind, subsea operations via Reach Subsea, and a network of supply bases operated by NorSea Group across the North Sea. Our segment also supports digital innovation through ventures such as RaaLabs, which specializes in maritime data analytics, and Massterly, focused on remote and autonomous shipping.
