AquaShip is the result of a merger between GripShip AS and Johnson Marine Ltd in July 2018, with the subsequent acquisition of Artic Shipping AS two months later.
The merger made it the first shipping company in the world to own and operate vessels in all four main areas of maritime aqua service: Service vessels, harvest vessels, live fish carriers, and feeding carriers.
Although it operates all over the world, its decentralized organization brings it close to the customers and markets. This – combined with years of experience – makes it a natural partner for both large and small fish farming companies.
