Viking Shipping Company's History and Heritage        
         
 

Our Company


Viking Shipping Company AS is an independent Norwegian shipbroking company founded in Oslo in February 1936. From the beginning, Viking Shipping Company AS was given support by the family-owned Norwegian shipowning company Th. Brøvig, which was established in Farsund in 1889.

The main part of our business is done with long term business friends, but Viking Shipping Company AS has in recent years put emphasis on being recognised in the spot markets and is happy to see that these efforts have been remunerative.

In addition to this, we are rendering Agency services in port of Oslo.

Viking Shipping Company AS is member of the Norwegian Shipbrokers Association and the Baltic and International Maritime Council BIMCO.
