Fred. Olsen - Freight, Cruising, Holidays and
Travel, Star Clippers
The Fred. Olsen related shipping activities date
back to 1848 when the Olsen family first entered the ship-owning business.
Over the years, Fred. Olsen related companies have expanded into other
activities, from air transport to ship-building, oil and gas exploration, and
some of them today hold a wide international, industrial and ship-building
interest.
Four generations later, the family operates
companies skilled in various aspects of the tanker, shipbuilding and offshore
industries. Aside from the transportation industries, the Fred. Olsen
companies also have interests in the luxury hotel sector, estate management,
property development and the electronics industry.
