Nordic roots - Global reach
Today our Group is owned by the 4th and 5th generation of the Tschudi family. Our daily business is run by the management team, with Felix H. Tschudi as Executive Chairman.
Surviving as a family business for more than a century requires innovation, agility and dedication. Our values are based on a solid foundation developed over four generations while our core businesses have adapted continuously to changing conditions and new market trends.
Operating in many countries our specialist teams are encouraged to collaborate outside their specific expertise with colleagues elsewhere. By doing so, we create new competitive cross-sector solutions for the Ocean Industries and assist in laying the foundation of activities as yet unknown.

Companies in the Tschudi Group
The Group's main commercial competences are shipping and maritime services, ocean industries support and logistics solutions.
How did it start?
The founders of our company were both captains onboard the world's first sailing tankers. At the time, Norway was ranked as the third biggest seafaring nation after England and the USA with most shipping companies founded by active captains.
In 1891 Captain Henry F. Tschudi joined Captain Camillo Eitzen as a partner in the shipping company Camillo Eitzen & Co. (founded 1883), later renamed Tschudi & Eitzen.
After being pioneers onboard sailing tankers, the two Captains very early converted from sail to steam, then to diesel and later became pioneers in combination carriers and submersible heavy-lift.
A new era started for Tschudi Shipping Company AS in 2003 after the split of Tschudi & Eitzen into two separate family-owned companies.
The new company required a new logo. Both our logo and funnel mark carry histories - read more here.
Today the Tschudi Group is owned by the 4th and 5th generation of the Tschudi family. The third generation, Captain Henry F. Tschudi, who was engaged in the family ship-owning business from 1970–1992, would also follow the business actively.

Each generation has been entrepreneurial and committed to changing and adapting to the times they are living in. Our vision "Creating value by daring to be different" reflects this attitude.
Our Group’s 125th anniversary film highlights some memorable events. History never dates and is useful to keep us alert and humble with regard to the changes we will face in the future. You can read more about our eventful past in our History section.
