History

According to legend, the Danish flag 'Dannebrog' fell from the sky on 15 June 1219. This is the flag after which Dannebrog Rederi was named almost 120 years ago, and our family has been the controlling owner and manager for 36 years.
True to the nature of shipping, there have been ups and downs for the company. Now, more than ever the essence of successful shipping lies with the motivation of people and the management of information. While we are focused on ship safety, asset timing, business acumen and other crucial matters, our management priority is the relationship between people and flows of information.

Apart from surprising swings in the market cycle it can be argued that shipping has evolved slowly since the Suez crisis 50 years ago. Currently, we are likely to be at the beginning, some would say midst, of a more fundamental shift in shipping, driven by developments in information technology.
In such a process of change we find it important to rely on tried and true values. We are proud of these core values. Together with our Mission Statement, these core values assure us about where we are heading and how we go about it.

Chemical tankers and liner shipping are the two segments where we have a proven track record. Please see www.stenaweco.com and www.nordana.com for specific information about our core businesses.
