About

Established in 2003 as Carten Shipping, we rebranded to Norwest Ship Management AS in 2013, reflecting our evolution into a comprehensive ship ownership and management company. Our fleet comprises 11 general cargo and RoRo vessels, nine of which are fully owned, ensuring consistent and high-quality service.

Our vessels navigate the Norway, Continent, and Baltic trade routes, expertly equipped to handle diverse cargo types, including forest products, refrigerated goods, aluminum, building materials, and complex project cargo. Through our dedicated fleet and experienced team, we deliver customized, high-efficiency logistics solutions, maintaining our commitment to quality and reliability in every journey.

Beyond our maritime operations, we proudly own and operate Husøy Terminalen, a high-capacity port facility in Avaldsnes, Norway. This terminal strengthens our integrated logistics capabilities, offering expansive warehousing, agile logistics, and reliable transport solutions, empowering us to provide seamless, end-to-end cargo handling.

Our commitment to excellence shines through in our powerful fleet, experienced team, and high-performance port facilities, all working together to deliver customized logistics solutions that exceed client expectations.
