This is the flag after which Dannebrog Rederi was named almost 120 years ago, and our family has been the controlling owner and manager for 36 years. True to the nature of shipping, there have been ups and downs for the company. Now, more than ever the essence of successful shipping lies with the motivation of people and the management of information. While we are focused on ship safety, asset timing, business acumen and other crucial matters, our management priority is the relationship between people and flows of information. Apart from surprising swings in the market cycle it can be argued that shipping has evolved slowly since the Suez crisis 50 years ago. Currently, we are likely to be at the beginning, some would say midst, of a more fundamental shift in shipping, driven by developments in information technology. In such a process of change we find it important to rely on tried and true values. We are proud of these core values. Together with our Mission Statement, these core values assure us about where we are heading and how we go about it. (Please click "Mission Statement" for further information). Chemical tankers and liner shipping are the two segments where we have a proven track record. Please see www.wecoshipping.com and www.nordana.com for specific information about our core businesses. Try our service and you will experience our innovative and individual shipping solutions.

Innovative Dedication alone is not enough, we also have to be innovative all the time. Individual Individuality has long been a shipping characteristic. We respect that, and want the individulity to be seen from the customer's view. Shipping Solutions are what we provide. The core af our business is ocean related but it often includes land transportation. The more demanding a shipping solution is, the more we begin to like it and prove the value of our expertise. Vision We want to be preferred and profitable Preferred Being preferred implies that we are the number one choice - and we can not hope to be preferred by all. For those who prefer us we understand that it is a privilege which requires a dedicated, innovative effort. Profitable You can easily be preferred and lose a bundle, so the two go hand in hand. All in our organisation, not only the commercial people, must have a view to profitability, so that we can be preferred for a long time. Core Values: Pride in our work We want to be proud of our own work as well as that of our colleagues. Reliability and safety awareness Our customers, suppliers and others shall be very confident that what we offer is a reliable shipping solution. Our vessels can cause great damage to human beings and to the environment. Safety awareness must be present in all we do, also for those working in the office. Delegate resposibility and accountability Resposibility as well as authority must be given to the person directly in contact with the customer, supplier or other interested party. Accountability requires praise as well as constructive criticism. Creative and inspiring working environment We are not paid to preserve the current state of business. On the contrary it is the resposibility of all of us to create our future. Creativity, innovation and improvement define individual performance as well as teamwork. The environment must be encouraging and inspiring. There is no such thing as a bad idea! Talent is encouraged but team-spirit is essential Emphasis is placed on individual qualities, and future plans will be made for those who have talent and are willing to use it. Talent can be a number of things, i.e. leadership, entrepreneurship, creativeness, shipping knowledge. However, as with a football team, teamwork is also essential. That is another reason why we need different talents in our organisation. Entrepreneurship drives our actions Our motive for action and change is entrepreneurship - not the strategy nor competitive actions, nor vessel decisions or anything else. Therefore, the talent of entrepreneurship will be encouraged. One to one relations The one to one relationship is the basis on which we should handle our customers in order to be preferred by them. These relationships are based on the individual customer's needs. This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.

History History The History The Dannebrog Steamship Company was officially registered on 9th February 1883. From its start as a listed company and up to 1967 the Shipowning Company was synonymous with the C.K. Hansen family and their brokering firm C.K. Hansen which until 1967 acted as managing owners for Dannebrog. The original share capital of DKK 900,000 was subscribed by a group of Danish businessmen and formed the basis for an order awarded to A/S Burmeister & Wain Shipyard for three 1,700 ton sister ships at a price of DKK 400,000 each. The three ships were delivered in the course of 1883 and 1884 and were named Christiansborg, Frederiksborg and Amalienborg, thereby launching a naming system for the Company's ships based on names of old Danish castles and fortresses ending in "-BORG", or "castle" in Danish. The naming system has been followed since that time, and many names have been used several times. One senses a strong national feeling behind the Company's name, its funnel mark and the naming system. No doubt this should be seen in the light of the two preceding wars against Bismarck's Germany, which created a new wave of national sentiment after Denmark's defeat in 1864. Under the umbrella of the firm of C.K. Hansen two new shipowning companies emerged, viz. the Steamship Company 1896 and the Neptun Steamship Company. However, both these companies were merged with the Steamship Company Dannebrog in 1918. At the outbreak of the First World War Dannebrog owned a fleet of 42 ships with a total tonnage of 137,000 ton, and Dannebrog was at that time Denmark's largest tramp shipowner. 20 of the ships were lost during the war, either because they were sunk or because they struck mines, one ship disappeared, and 60 officers and crew went down with their ships. Dannebrog never quite recovered from the wounds of the First World War, and after having completed a newbuilding programme for 16 ships, the Company was financially ill equipped to deal with the periods of hardship which followed the recession of the twenties and thirties. In 1934 the market showed a slight improvement and slowly Dannebrog's financial standing improved towards the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939. At this time Dannebrog's fleet numbered 17 ships, of which eight were sunk or struck mines during the war and two were heavily damaged by mine explosions. 71 men lost their lives on board Dannebrog ships during the Second World War. In 1950 three Danish Shipping companies, Torm, J. Lauritzen and Dannebrog decided to place a joint order for five identical 16,000 ton tankers with Lindholmens Varv in Gothenburg. This was the beginning of Dannebrog's involvement in the tanker trade. In 1954 Dannebrog decided to step up its activities within the tanker industry and ordered a 19,000 ton tanker in Belgium to be delivered in 1955 as Dansborg IV. Dannebrog's last coalfired steamer the Nordborg I was sold in 1958. The fleet had now been reduced to 10 ships, however with a total tonnage of 100,000 dwt. i.e. the largest tonnage since the depression in 1930 which lead to sales and scrapping. In 1963 the majority of shares of the old esteemed shipping company Vendila was sold to Dannebrog. What was acquired was a shipping company without ships but with substantial cash reserves. Through the intervention of Kj benhavns Handelsbank and N.J. Gorrisen, Chairman of the board of Dannebrog, it was decided to separate the firm of C.K. Hansen and the Shipowning Company Dannebrog. Furthermore, the firm of C.K. Hansen was to resign as managing owner as from May 1967. From that time a new consortium consisting of Count Tido Wedell, Chr. Kjellerup Hansen and Baron Ebbe Wedell-Wedellsborg took over a shareholding of 18%, which had been the possession of the firm of C.K. Hansen since the formation of the Shipowning Company Dannebrog. In 1967 it was agreed to appoint Weco-Shipping i/s as Dannebrog's managing owner. Also in 1967, in June the Six Day War closed the Suez Canal. This led to a rising freight market, which increased Dannebrog's earnings and made it possible to carry out a complete financial reconstruction of the Company. Up to 1971 a total of six special tankers were built for Dannebrog, namely the so-called A-B-C ships: Amalineborg IV/Aggersborg III, Billesborg I/Brattingsborg III and Charlottenborg I/Christiansborg IV. They all proved to be profitable ships for Dannebrog, and were either sold at fair profits after some years or, like the B-ships, repaid after their building price several times over a 15-year period. In March 1971 the Company took over Aarhus Flydedok & Maskinkompagni A/S from DFDS at a contract price of DKK 3.5 million - at that time an ailing shipyard facing closedown with empty berths and worn-out facilities. After the takeover Dannebrog put the shipyard back on its feet and appointed a new and competent management. The results were not long in coming, and for many years the shipyard - now renamed Dannebrog V rft AS - was a significant and profitable enterprise in Aarhus. In 1989 the shipyard was sold. In 1973 Chr. Kjellerup Hansen wished to resign and he parted on the best of terms with Ebbe Wedell-Wedellsborg, who took over the sole management of the Dannebrog Group. For a period during the seventies the Company was heavily involved in the marine electronics industry. However, it turned out that this investment required so much liquidity, that it was decided to concentrate on shipbuilding and shipowning as the main activities. The only business that remains of the former electronics group is Printca AS in Aalborg. Printca manufactures advanced printed circuits to the electronics industry. In the middle of the seventies the Hong Kong office of Weco-Shipping i/s was by happy coincidence appointed managers of two Norwegian-owned livestock carriers, which were mainly trading between Australia and the Middle East, each ship carrying about 9,000 live sheep. This opened up a very special market in which an acute demand arose for the transport of live sheep to the Middle East in the wake of the oil crisis. In 1984/85 it became evident that the Arab could no longer afford the very extensive import of live sheep due to declining oil revenues, and in a very short time the market collapsed. The strategic aim for Ebbe Wedell-Wedellsborg was now to concentrate on niche trades and liner services not so sensitive to market fluctuations. The next step in that direction was taken in 1978, when Det Dansk-Franske Dampskibsselskab A/S got into financial trouble, and the company's old established liner-service, Dafra-Line on Westafrica was sold to Dannebrog together with the four liner ships serving Dafra-Line. Dafra-Line brought liner service know-how and several valuable shore-based employees and officers. Consequently, in 1984 Dannebrog had the courage to buy Nordana Line from D.F.D.S. together with four new Ro/Ro operated on bareboat. After the expiry of the charter parties of the ships, Dannebrog succeed in purchasing the ships, and they were renamed Skodsborg IV, Skanderborg III, Stjerneborg V and Schackenborg. Three of these ships are still on Nordana's liner service from the Mediterranean to Central America, the US Gulf, the US Eastcoast and back to the Mediterranean. In 1987 Dannebrog felt the impact of the depression which characterized the freight market for several years. The shareholders had to face the fact that their investment was lost, as it was necessary to write down the share capital to zero. The Company was delisted from the Copenhagen Stock Exchange and Dannebrog is today a 100 % family owned company. In connection with the terms of reconstruction of Dannebrog it turned out to be necessary to sell the increasingly unprofitable Dafra-Line and in the spring of 1988 Dafra and all of its activities were sold to the Belgian shipping conglomerate CMB in Antwerp. In 1998 the two 16,000 dwt. product/chemical tanker newbuildings mt. Aggersborg and mt. Amalienborg were delivered from Alabama Shipyard and they are after two years in a pool with a Norwegian shipowner now being operated from our headoffice in Rungsted. These two tankers together with the 8,000 dwt. mt. Dansborg carries cargo of vegetable oil, tallow, caustic soda and chemicals - a trade which for many years has been the lifeblood of the Company. Today, Dannebrog is managed by Johan Wedell-Wedellsborg as managing director, and with his father Ebbe Wedell-Wedellsborg as Chairman of the board. Dannebrog Rederi AS Profile Organisation diagram Profile Profile History HistoryThe name Nordana Line is taken from its NORwegian and DANish background. The service started in 1957 as a joint venture between Norwegian Fearnley & Eger and Danish DFDS.Later on F & E decided to withdraw and the service continued under Danish managment, but the name remains as strong as ever. Initially the service was based on carryings from Mediterranean to Caribbean, Central Amerika and Mexico, and the vessels returned to Mediterranean via USA/Scandinavia. With the upswing og oil and gas exploration in North Africa, a direct service from USA to Mediterranean was implemented in 1961, and the calls at Scandinavian ports were suspended. In 1969 four conventional sister vessels with 85 tons heavy-lift capacity were introduced in the service to accomodate the increasing demand for larger and heavier pieces of cargo to North Africa. Increasing congestion in North African ports made it evident that more specialised tonnage was required to obtain priority berthing. In 1979 four Multipupose RoRo vessels were introduced. The vessels offered a fully new, unique, and sophisticated cargo handling consept to the trade and to the distinct benefit of the Line's many different customers. With the most advanced RoRo concept introduced, the vessels obtained quick despatches in even the most difficult ports. Nordana Line has since expanded the geographic scope, improved the frequencies and widened its services to become one of the premier multipurpose/RoRo liner carriers. Today Nordana Line is recognised as a specialty carrier, able to acommodate our customers' varying needs for cargo handling, reliability, and port calls.
