Rederiet M.H. Simonsen was founded in 1931 by Martin Hjorth Simonsen and is today managed by his son Lars Hjorth Simonsen.

The first thirty years from 1931-1961, the shipping company’s main business consisted of drycargo vessels supplying the domestic molasses trade.

In 1961, the first tanker, MT Brotank, was purchased. Since then more and more vessels has been added to the fleet.

Rederiet M.H. Simonsen is today still a family owned shipping company owning a number of tankers from about 2.000 to 7.000 dwt.

The tankers are primarily engaged in the european small tanker market. The majority are employed in the transportation of easy chemicals like vegetable oils, fats, molasses, ethanol, FAME, APP and UAN, always as per latest FOSFA list of acceptable products.

MT Orasila and occasionally MT Oratank are trading with CPP in Greenland.

All vessels are commercially operated by their own chartering department.

Since 1998, the office of Rederiet M.H. Simonsen has resided in the old mansion ’Villa Svea’ by Svendborgsund. Villa Svea required a year of renovation before moving in was possible, and the mansion is today regarded as one of the most beautiful houses in Svendborg.

The company’s mission is to deliver customer satisfaction by being flexible, competitive and deliver smooth and hassle free transportation. Continuing being a small family owned business with focus on long partnerships. Always with focus on safety onboard and the environment in general.
