The Skaarup Organization credits part of its success to its strategy of partnering and joint venturing with major international shippers and ship owners.

In 1990, Skaarup formed a partnership with the major Japanese shipping company, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. – owners and operators of a large fleet of bulk carriers. This strategy created a coalition of competitive commercial and technical advantages capable of responding effectively and rapidly to bulk shipping challenges and meeting clients’ needs anywhere in the world.

We are proud of our partnership history. Some of our partnerships have included:

• Joint Venture -  Mitsui O.S.K. lines Ltd.
• Joint Venture -  Algoma Central Corp.
• Joint Venture -  Nedlloyd Bulk B.V.
• Joint Venture -  Maritime Management Services Ltd.
• Partnership   -  MBK Trading
• Partnership   -  Skarhar
• Joint Venture -  Fortune Ocean Shipping
• Joint Venture -  SULA Logistics, LLC

Responding to the new market trend and increased shift to Asia in the shipping industry, we have strengthened our presence in Hong Kong and  focused on developing future business in Asia.  As was done with our Japanese partners, we will continue expanding our partnership with Asian investors in the fashion of joint-venture.  We have added India to this focus recently.
