Transport of wood products is our business.

We employ our own vessels for over 25 years for the European wood industry. We meet the challenges of our special navigation area with the know-how and the expertise of the family tom Wörden as a shipowner with a history of over 100 years.

For us, everything revolves around long-term relationships with our business partners and clients. Thanks to the size of our fleet we can meet customer demands for short term flexibility and a well-functioning supply chain.

Our vast network of regularly called ports can be seen here.

 

Services Container

Container vessels trading worldwide

Navalis Shipping arranges the employment of the container tonnage belonging to the Navalis Group and other shipowners for more than 20 years. The long-standing contacts with the major container lines are essential to our success.

In this segment we currently oversee a fleet of 7 ships of 900 to 1200 TEU. Navalis Shipping also supports the shipowners during the sale and purchase of vessels as well as with newbuilding projects.

 

 

 

History

Navalis Shipping was founded in 1995 to support the shipowning activities of Schiffahrtskontor tom Wörden (founded 1911) with its own chartering outfit. Since then, all ships of the shipping group of the family tom Wörden are employed by Navalis Shipping.

A customer network was built with all major forest industry concerns in Northern Europe. Apart from wood products (logs, pulp, paper), we also transport grains, fertilizer, split and other bulk cargoes. The own fleet is contantly modernised and expanded through purchases and newbuildings.

Also in Container shipping, we are active since founding. The container fleet is as well as the Baltic fleet steadily modernised and expanded according to market needs. Several newbuilding projects were contracted in Europe and the Far East. Nowadays, the container ships are employed with renowned charterers worldwide.
