Making waves for more than a century
Lauritzen Kosan is a business unit within J. Lauritzen, having served the maritime trade worldwide for more than 130 years. We are owned by the Lauritzen Foundation – a commercial foundation with an explicit charitable purpose, supporting shipping, culture, social humanitarian work and education. The specialised gas activity became part of J. Lauritzen in 1989 through the acquisition of the 1944-founded gas carrier pioneer, Kosan Tankers.
Our heritage is a testament of our ability and willingness to transform and listen to markets. Having worked with some of the world’s largest and most demanding companies in the energy and petrochemical sector for many years, we have acquired the know-how and expertise to offer the best ocean transport solutions to our customers.
