Oslo company Bulkship Management AS, founded in 1999, provides crewing, technical management, newbuilding supervision and consultancy to shipowners. The fleet on its website is the Oslo Bulk fleet of mini-bulkers, supramaxes and handysize ships. In Portugal it has a permanent representation in Lisbon, Bulkship Management AS – Sucursal (NIF 980889294).
Bulkship Management AS (org. no. 981 115 678) was founded on 1 July 1999. It is registered at Ruseløkkveien 6 in central Oslo, and its stated purpose is the technical and maritime operation of its own and other owners’ ships, with consultancy on quality assurance and ship operations. The company describes itself as a fast-growing ship manager providing crewing, technical management, newbuilding supervision and consultancy. Its managing director is Kristin Wilhelmsen. The fleet it lists is the Oslo Bulk fleet: the 8,000 dwt ice-class mini-bulkers Oslo Bulk 1 to 10 and Oslo Bulk 14, two 62,435 dwt ships delivered in 2020 (Boliche and Ultra Incahuasi), and six handysize bulkers built between 2004 and 2012. In March 2019 Marine Log reported that Bulkship had signed a 30-ship fleet agreement with Alfa Laval for ballast water treatment systems.
In Portugal the company is registered as Bulkship Management AS – Sucursal (NIF 980889294), a permanent representation at Avenida António Augusto de Aguiar 19 in Lisbon. The branch’s registered object is the same as the Oslo parent’s: technical and maritime operation of own and third-party ships, ship-operations consultancy, and holding stakes in companies with similar objects. Racius shows accounts filed for the last three years. The Oslo office page lists Norwegian staff only, so the size of the Lisbon operation is not public.
Ship management is a service business that can be run from wherever the expertise is, and this Oslo manager has chosen to register a branch in Lisbon for ship operations rather than only a sales office. That makes Portugal part of the operating side of a Norwegian dry-bulk business. For Portuguese maritime suppliers, technical consultants and crew agencies, Bulkship is a Norwegian ship manager with a legal base in Lisbon and about twenty ships under management.
On 27 December 2024 the company published a statement on its ship Oslo Carrier 3’s part in the search-and-rescue operation for the Russian cargo ship Ursa Major in the Mediterranean on 23 December 2024. The rescue was run by the Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre in Cartagena. In September 2025 Oslo Carrier 3 drew media attention when it passed Copenhagen at about the time of the drone sightings in Denmark. The company said it had not been contacted by Danish or Norwegian authorities, and that the ship was carrying steel from Nordenham to Klaipeda, where it was inspected by border control and NATO personnel.
