For half a century, we have navigated the seas of change, evolving with industry advancements and setting high standards in global maritime management. Wilhelmsen Ship Management has become one of the world’s leading third-party ship management companies, we are proud of our journey and the exceptional partnerships we've built along the way.

Join us in commemorating this milestone as we reflect on our legacy, celebrate our achievements, and look forward to a future of innovation, safety, and sustainability on the world's oceans.

Our journey began on October 1, 1975, with the establishment of Barber Ship Management Ltd in Hong Kong. Over the years, the business grew with our customers as we prioritized safety, efficiency, and sustainability.

In 2008, the name Wilhelmsen Ship Management was adopted to strengthen our corporate identity alongside sister companies under the Wilhelmsen brand. Growth continued with the support of a broader range of vessel types, including tankers, bulk carriers, and specialized ships.

Today, with over 450 vessels and 13,000 seafarers globally, we are a key player in shaping the future of ship management while upholding longstanding maritime traditions.
