The Torvald Klaveness Group is a Norwegian shipping company founded in 1946. Klaveness Marine was demerged from it in 2011.
The company was founded by Torvald Faye Klaveness in 1946, who served as the company's president and chief executive officer until 1989. He was succeeded by his son Tom Erik Klaveness, who was later succeeded by another of Torvald's sons Trond Harald Klaveness in 2006. [1] [2] [3]
By the early 2000s the company owned a fleet of almost 150 bulk cargo vessels. [4] In 2011 the two Klaveness brothers decided to demerge the holding and real estate division, forming Klaveness Marine with Tom Erik Klaveness as majority owner. Trond Harald Klaveness continued in the Torvald Klaveness Group which remained a shipping company, but now as president whereas Lasse Kristoffersen became the new chief executive. [5]
In 2018, the company announced it was forming new bulker company Klaveness Combination Carriers, [6] which subsequently declared listing on Oslo Stock Exchange. [7] In January 2020, Klaveness joined forces with Japan's Marubeni to form the world's largest panamax pool. [8]

A cargo ship or freighter is a merchant ship that carries cargo, goods, and materials from one port to another. Thousands of cargo carriers ply the world's seas and oceans each year, handling the bulk of international trade. Cargo ships are usually specially designed for the task, often being equipped with cranes and other mechanisms to load and unload, and come in all sizes. Today, they are almost always built of welded steel, and with some exceptions generally have a life expectancy of 25 to 30 years before being scrapped.
A bulk carrier or bulker is a merchant ship specially designed to transport unpackaged bulk cargo—such as grain, coal, ore, steel coils, and cement—in its cargo holds. Since the first specialized bulk carrier was built in 1852, economic forces have led to increased size and sophistication of these ships. Today's bulk carriers are specially designed to maximize capacity, safety, efficiency, and durability.
