The leading dry bulk cargo company in the Baltic Sea region
ESL Shipping is the leading dry bulk cargo company in the Baltic Sea region. Its strategy is based on sustainability and the ability to serve Nordic industrial companies that invest in the green transition. The shipping company offers reliable shipping in ice conditions, and it loads and unloads large ocean liners at sea as a special service.
Long-term customer relationships are important for ESL Shipping. The majority of the most significant customers have been in a contractual relationship of more than ten years with ESL Shipping. This is the result of a high customer focus based on in-depth understanding of customer needs and the delivery of quality services.
ESL Shipping has a very positive long-term outlook. Ongoing and completed investments in the Bothnian Bay region will increase demand for sea transportation. ESL Shipping’s low-carbon and future completely fossil-free transportation has attracted extensive positive interest and led to longer customer agreements.
