Wallem have at some times in our 100-year plus history been shipowners, and we are very closely connected to the shipping markets through our shipmanagement and shipbroking core businesses.

We are pleased to look at equity participation in ships, and our aim is to commercially manage and/or technically manage such ships. These ventures involving Wallem as partner therefore have to be commercially sound investments as well as ship management opportunities.

Through our close connections with Japanese, Danish and German investment funds as well as world-class ship financing banks, and with input from Wallem Shipbroking as well as Wallem Shipmanagement, we are instrumental in putting sale-and-charter back packages together.

Our reputation has proven to be bankable for new owners, who want the backing of a highly regarded ship manager. Wallem can be an equity partner in such ventures, to stress our commitment to the financing party.
