Philosophy

During our more than sixty years in the shipping business, we have witnessed dramatic changes in the maritime industry.  Whereas the markets have boomed and busted, the Skaarup Organization has stayed on course and our commitment to its clients has never been compromised.

Our founder, Ole Skaarup, with the M/V Morven

The fast-paced new century promises unprecedented, exciting challenges.  We will meet these challenges and continue our mission to help our clients outperform their competition by creating the most practical, efficient, and economic solutions to their bulk transport needs.  Our corporate policy roots deeply in our philosophy that ship owners and operators are servants of shippers and cargo interests.

The secret of success is to do the common things uncommonly well.” - John D. Rockefeller

We were pioneers in creating the bulk carrier, the ocean going self-unloading ship, and the Total Transportation concept.  We aim to continue our effort to introduce new designs and concepts to promote efficient solutions for our clients.

Our past partnerships with major international industries reaffirm our commitment to share benefits while growing together.  With your interest as our top priority, we will continue our efforts to serve the maritime industry.
