Speed and efficiency are second nature to Yusuke Nishijima, our stellar Wilhelmsen Warehouse Operative in Kobe, Japan! In a warehouse with around 800 products, Yusuke and his team ensure the right items are picked, prepped, and dispatched to customers safely and before the departure of their vessels. With nearly a decade of experience under his belt, Yusuke stays strong, motivated, and on top of his game. Taking time out is key to coming back refreshed so, when he’s not at the warehouse, you'll find Yusuke running marathons to recharge his batteries and stay fit. If you’re looking for an efficient delivery, you know who to ask. Wilhelmsen Ships Service #maritimeindustry #shipping #operations #wilhelmsen #wearewilhelmsen

Our CEO Thomas Wilhelmsen sat down with DNV Maritime’s Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen on the podcast series Trust and Transformations – leaders navigating change, to talk about why #trust is an essential factor for success in the #maritime industry. With both companies racking up legacies of 160 years, they clearly know a thing or two about it. As Thomas says, whether it’s navigating cybersecurity or decarbonisation, you can’t move forward alone. Collaboration is key if we are going to reach our targets.

Celebrating the Day of the Seafarer! Today, we honour the vital role of seafarers in keeping the maritime industry safe. This year, the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) highlights that seafarers are the frontline of maritime safety. At Wilhelmsen, we are dedicated to creating a safe working environment. In 2023, our 11,340 seafarers clocked 37.5 million work hours with a lost-time injury frequency (LTIF) rate of 0.35, within our target of 0.40. We strive for continuous improvement in safety. Alongside ongoing health and safety initiatives, Wilhelmsen Ship Management run campaigns focused on loss prevention and safety basics, especially as new vessels come into management and seafarers join our team. Annual officer conferences bring together key stakeholders to inspire and enable management to engage seafarers in safety matters, build a strong safety culture, and improve safety competencies. #SafetyTipsAtSea #maritimesafety #seafarers #maritime #wilhelmsen #wearewilhelmsen

It’s all about connecting! Today, we had the pleasure of hosting 20 interns from Clarksons at our Lysaker office in Norway. Who better to explain the history and journey of Wilhelmsen than our group CFO, Christian Berg. Pairing his experience and depth of industry knowledge with our graduates, who shared exciting information about Wilhelmsen's own graduate- as well as internship programs, provided a great mix of Wilhelmsen insights with innovation. Our visitors also had the opportunity to meet Thomas Wilhelmsen during their lunch break and engage with him directly, asking any questions they had for the Group CEO. Through collaborations like this, we continue building a network and fostering knowledge for young talents seeking careers in the maritime sector. We are strong advocates for bridging the gap between education and the professional world, making it all more tangible. #network #internship #career #wearewilhelmsen

Meet Espen, the captain of Dawn Patrol, a serious cycling group that kicks off at 5:30 am to tackle 60km routes around Nøtterøy, Norway – his hometown and the location of Wilhelmsen Chemicals (WIC). By day, Espen is the Environment and Quality Manager at WIC. He ensures that this local manufacturer and distributor of chemicals addresses ESG impacts, risks, and opportunities in products and operations. Espen and the team are working to reduce the use of virgin plastic in packaging. As an active member of Grønt Punkt Norge, they’ve recently achieved 30% recycled plastic in selected packaging. “To achieve this, we needed to work hard with R&D, purchase and other stakeholders to remain not only compliant, but leading in our market.” Espen also leads various other operational initiatives, such as steering their ISO certifications. Just this spring, WIC was re-certified under the ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 environmental and quality standards for environmental management systems. Espen’s passion for the environment doesn’t end on the bike! #esg #environment #iso #recycle #wilhelmsen #wearewilhelmsen

For decades, ship owners and operators have faced financial and operational challenges when it comes to prefunding port calls and canal transits. So… how to sidestep this challenge? Wilhelmsen Port Services has just announced the launch of a new financing solution for port and crew services in collaboration with Round Fort Capital. Instead of paying for all port services upfront or immediately during a ship's visit, the Port Cost Financing model enables customers to manage port call payments globally without the need for prefunding, thereby releasing working capital and reducing operational workload. Gerson Lourenço, Business Development Manager WPS and Marius Johansen, VP Strategy, M&A and New Growth WPS at Posidonia, excited to see this prefunding solution set new industry standards!
