Wah Kwong is a global integrated shipping company based in Hong Kong with offices in Shenzhen, London, Genoa, Singapore and Dalian.
Founded in 1952, we have been providing end-to-end lifecycle services and maritime solutions to global customers and we currently operate under four main business streams –
Shipping is a volatile industry in which different market sectors can move swiftly and independently of one another in response to various market, commercial, and geo-political forces that affect our business. As experienced shipowners we understand this and seek to maintain:
A diversified fleet with exposure to different sectors including the bulk-carrier, crude tanker and LPG markets, which helps provide a hedge against individual sector risks.
A young and safe fleet. Safety lies at the heart of what we do and Wah Kwong holds one of the best safety records of any fleet under the Hong Kong flag, which is one of the largest flag states in the shipping industry.
A loyal seaman resource for the diverse fleet we manage. Our strong corporate culture and policy of recruiting from within encourages exceptional levels of crew retention and has seen Wah Kwong voted Hong Kong Shipowner of the Year by crew members multiple times in recent years.
Entrusting your ships to Wah Kwong makes them a part of one of the most recognised shipping fleets in the world. Our core philosophy in ship management is to ensure safety, efficiency and profitability. We pay close attention to ensuring that assets under our care are well maintained, maximizing operating revenues and enhancing resale value.
Our extensive experience across the whole spectrum of shipping allows us to provide a tailor-made service to partners covering the whole life cycle of a vessel, from newbuilding design and supervision consultancy through to technical and commercial management.
Wah Kwong enjoy a global reputation for building high quality ships thanks to experience garnered over many decades working at many of the world's premier shipyards.
Since ordering our first newbuilding in Japan over half a century ago, Wah Kwong has built an enviable reputation with shipyards across the globe. Our long-term relationships with the major shipbuilders in Japan, Korea and China ensure we can secure beneficial delivery times and contract terms in what can be a highly competitive market where relationships count.
Our experienced newbuilding supervision team provide a first-class, one stop service that covers the entire shipbuilding process, from design and plan approval phases through construction, sea trials and delivery.
Wah Kwong manage a diverse fleet of modern vessels including oil tankers, gas carriers and bulk carriers ranging from 4,000 to 318,000 DWT and we are committed to providing best-in-class ship management services to shipowners. Safe operations, protecting the marine environment and ensuring we adhere to all international regulations are central to our management ethos.
A well maintained ship retains a higher value at the point of sale and ships managed by reputed technical managers will find doors opening for attractive longer term charters. Wah Kwong Ship Management's pursuit of excellence puts our customers on the fast track to profitability.
