Welcome to Simonsen Chartering ApS

Simonsen Chartering ApS is the operating and chartering company for Rederiet M. H. Simonsen's tanker fleet, as well as for management and time charter tonnage

Our ships are primarily engaged in the North European markets. The majority of the vessels are employed in the transportation of vegetable oils, fats, molasses, waxes,  fertilizers and other FOSFA acceptable products.

Large tankers with capacities of up to  50,000 tons enter Rotterdam with oil products from the Far East, and our vessels distribute this oil to factories and consumers in Northern Europe.

Two sister ships of our fleet m/t Orateca and m/t Orakota are further more dedicated as life time food-grade carriers and adheres to the most stringent requirements in the food industry.

Another segment is the CPP trade, where M.H. Simonsen have designed and built a tanker specifically to supply the villages around the coast of Greenland – m/t Orasila.
The m/t Orasila is permanently stationed in Greenland and is trading 12 months a year occasionally under extreme weather conditions.

Furthermore M.H. Simonsen offers their service to the chemical industry. The typical products we are carrying are ethanol, butanol, glycols and other easy chemicals used for a variety of purposes within the industry. This segment is to be further developed in the future.

It is also our aim to maintain and to further strengthen our position as a market leader within the transportation of vegetable oils in our designated market areas by continuously adapting to market demands, international rules and regulations.
