Dyvi was founded in 1955 by Jan-Erik Dyvi, and has been highly innovative throughout its history.
Dyvi was the first to construct a purpose-built pure car carrier (PCC) in the 1960s. The company pioneered the Norwegian offshore oil drilling industry in the 1970s, becoming the largest operator before selling this business to Smedvig ASA in 1988. In addition, it took the lead in introducing semi-submersible heavy lift vessels. More than 30 ships and offshore units have been built over the years, almost all of them prototypes and/or special-purpose vessels.
Today’s shipping business at Dyvi is project-oriented, primarily focusing on PCCs. The company is committed to developing maritime projects in segments where it has special expertise and/or competitive advantages.
• The core business is characterised by long-term industrial projects developed for first-class charterers, where Dyvi has a primary role and can utilise its expertise and position.
• Related business areas are characterised by opportunities to utilise and develop the company’s network.
• Opportunity-based projects rest on the identification and utilisation of cyclical market variations.
Dyvi has acquired a unique ability to enter new projects by combining in-depth knowledge of core markets and operations with the capacity of the Norwegian maritime cluster, which embraces brokers, financial institutions, legal specialists, classification societies, insurance and a wide range of marine suppliers.
Ships in the Dyvi fleet are chartered to some of the best-known companies in the business, such as Volkswagen Transport GmbH, Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK), Tokyo, Kawasaki Kaisen Kaisha (K-Line), Tokyo, and Eukor, Seoul. |
