Voyages from continent to continent, navigating through varying weather conditions around the clock throughout the year, and operating a network of tank terminals at strategic locations. We handle and store some of the most hazardous chemicals that exist, and we do it safely and efficiently. 

The products we carry are often potentially hazardous, but they are also vital building blocks for a multitude of everyday life products, used throughout the world. Many items you find in your household are made by materials which were once transported by sea in one of Odfjell’s vessels.

As one of the world’s leading chemical tanker and terminal operators, Odfjell SE is continuously searching for ways to ensure safety, excel in services to our customers, maximise efficiency, and minimise environmental footprints. We rely on data and business intelligence to improve performance, and depend on our professional and competent employees to reach our goals. 

Through more than 100 years of operation, we have proven our ability to deliver and succeed in the ever changing, highly competitive markets. We are leaning on our strong history when looking forward, and we are building for the future.
