Oceans of know-how
J. Lauritzen （JL） was founded in 1884 and has been a leading supplier of ocean transport solutions for 125 years. During this period, JL has been involved in a broad range of shipping activities consistently focusing on operations that require competence and know-how.
Today, JL’’s business activities encompass: Lauritzen Bulkers （dry bulk cargoes）, Lauritzen Kosan （liquefied gases）, Lauritzen Offshore Services （provider of dynamically positioned support vessels） and Lauritzen Tankers （oil products and chemicals）.
JL’’s heritage has allowed us to gain a vast store of experience and know-how in virtually all facets of merchant shipping. This know-how is reflected across the entire range of the Group’’s operations, and over time the JL name has evolved into a byword for respectability and trustworthiness in international merchant shipping. Despite working in different fields, JL’’s different business activities are linked to one another by a unified business philosophy and a common set of values.
JL has always focused on depth of service. By building operational expertise, our companies are in a position to offer genuinely valuable assistance to customers - a philosophy that allows our customers to concentrate on what they’’re good at, while we take care of their transport needs.
Values such as commercial acumen, decency and fair dealing characterize the way JL companies operate around the world and remain firmly anchored at the core of everything we do.
