The Norwegian maritime group Wilhelmsen has entered into an agreement with Seven Seas to acquire 100 % of their shares in their subsidiary Stromme.
When established in 1971, Stromme became the first specialised cargo hold cleaning company in the marine industry. From its Norwegian roots Stromme have become a global player in the marine industry and its cargo hold cleaning segment.
Wilhelmsen will acquire the company in Norway from parent Seven Seas including operations in Germany and Singapore, as Stromme will transfer all of its people, business and assets into Wilhelmsen Ships Service. Stromme will retain its brand and operate as a fully owned subsidiary of Ships Service.
“At Seven Seas we decided to divest Stromme as it was not core business and we chose Wilhelmsen Ships Service as the best possible owner for the business to continue its positive path”, said CEO and Chairman of Seven Seas, Søren Nørgård.
