Our Story

The start

Since the early beginning in 1899, Remøy Shipping has developed and grown into what it is today; a company with great prospects for the future.

Around the turn of the century, the small open boats got replaced with larger covered vessels. A good herring fishing with drift nets was the driving force behind this development. One of the first covered vessels to be bought to Remøya was the remodeled vessel 'Historia' in 1899. Knut Hansen Remøy was one of the owners of this sailing vessel.

Growth and Expansion

In 1915, Knut took delivery of new vessel 'Brødrene V'. At that time, his sons, Hans, Olav and Joakim, were also part of the operation. In 1925, they bought the 55-foot-long cutter 'Vikenes', which was mainly used for whaling.

In the 1950s, the third generation also got involved in the fishing business. This resulted in the company being split as well as increased activity. Olav and Joakim carried on as captains on 'Vikenes' and 'Brødrene V' respectively, while their sons Kjell, Andreas, Per and Steinar took delivery of 92-foot 'Stormy' in 1961. 'Stormy' fished for shark, swordfish, and tuna off the Africa coast as well as porbeagle fishing off Newfoundland.

During the 1980s, the shipping company engaged in the oil business with several standby vessels and a seismic vessel.

Modern Era

The company was split in 1991 when Per together with his sons started their own company. In 2006, the company was split again when Kjell's heirs started their own shipping business. Remaining owners of Remøy Shipping were Steinarbo AS and Stokkanker AS with 50% each

New Owners

February 2026 Remøy Group AS completed the sale of Remøy Shipping, including the companies Remøy Shipping AS, Rem Stadt AS and RS Crewing AS, to ZOSCO. The transaction secures Remøy Shipping continued operations, access to new capital and a stronger platform for long-term development.

ZOSCO is the leading provider of offshore services in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and has been offering diversified offshore and marine support services to the oil and gas industry since 1977. The core business offering includes offshore marine and diving services, offshore construction and hookup services, as well as port towage and pilotage operations.

Positioned for growth

For customers, employees and partners, the agreement means increased capacity, a broader service offering and reinforced stability. The combination of Remøy Shipping’s maritime heritage and ZOSCO’s resources and industrial competence creates a stronger platform for future value creation. Remøy Shipping will continue their operations as-is with a further focus on growth within the offshore energy market backed by new versatile owners and the Norwegian maritime cluster.
