President's message
This year WSM celebrate 45 years of serving the shipping and seafaring community. We started our journey from a humble beginning as an in-house manager to becoming one of the world’s top 10 international ship managers. We have come a long way and it goes without saying that this fantastic achievement would not be possible without the people that have dedicated their time and energy in building what we have today; a reputation that speaks of quality, heritage and ambition. Our identity is defined by performance driven people that value relationship and tradition, at the same time being ambitious in our aspirations.
Through these years, shipping has gone through a number of versatile periods. We have survived each and every one and we stand as resilient as ever before.
They say it takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently. Doing things the right way is the reason why we are still here. There is no shortcuts to safety, track record and performance. This is our pride, that we have worked hard to uphold and protect. We look forward to continuing to serve and inspire the new generation of shipping community to come
Thank you for being with us. You can count on us for the next 45 years.
Carl Schou
President & CEO
