New company – solid track-record in maritime operations

 

The concept of Edda Wind was first realized in Haugesund by the Østensjø Group in 2015. Østensjø is a reputable maritime services group with strong positions within offshore, accommodation and towage established by Johannes Østensjø in 1974. The group is headquartered in Haugesund, Norway, with presence in the UK and Malta.

Five years after the birth of Edda Wind, the Wilhelmsen Group became a partner in the company. Wilhelmsen is a global maritime industry group providing first class products and services internationally. It was founded in 1861 by Wilhelm Wilhelmsen and is headquartered in Lysaker, Norway, from which it operates the largest maritime network on the planet with over 2,200 locations worldwide and thousands of employees in more than 70 countries.
