Shipbrokers and consultants.
Lorentzen & Co is an independent shipbroking and consultancy firm based in Oslo, specialising in the sale and purchase of second-hand tonnage. We handle everything from single-vessel transactions to large, complex logistical and financial structures.
Our history dates back to 1919. A merger in the early 1990s created Lorentzen & Stemoco, which became one of Norway's leading shipbroking houses. We have since returned to our original name, Lorentzen & Co.
We cover all major segments: dry cargo, MPP, tankers, containers, LNG carriers and LPG carriers.
Lorentzen & Co provide valuation services across all vessel segments, issuing certificates recognised and accepted by leading banks and financial institutions.
