History

Multi Maritime is a ship design company for the third millennium – with its roots in practical ship building.

Multi Maritime AS was established in 1983 as an independently and privately owned ship design company. Both the company and its founders grew up as a part of the shipyard Ankerløkken in Førde, western Norway. In 1985 the same process took place in the sister-shipyard in Florø. Ankerløkken Consult AS was established, as a similar company to Multi Maritime. They later changed their name to Polarny Maritime D&E AS. 
In 2019 Multi Maritime AS aquired all the shares of Polarny Maritime D&E AS, and consolidated the two companies in to a larger, stronger company – ready to take on the future. 

From its first beginnings, working on chemical tankers, Multi Maritime AS has grown into a multi-skilled consultancy, employing a staff of highly qualified technicians and engineers that serves a worldwide client portfolio. At the end of 2010, Fiskerstrand Holding bought all the shares in Multi Maritime AS. Nearly 15 years of successful collaboration between the two companies had then led to the development and building of more than 30 ferries with Multi Maritime design. 
Multi Maritime AS however, continue on as an independent ship design company serving both existing and new customers with unchanged strength and confidentiality.

Beginning with specialist chemical tankers and the offshore support vessels needed for Norway’s growing oil and gas industry, Multi Maritime AS has spent more than thirty years developing an ever widening portfolio of projects for specialized vessels, including specialized cargo vessels, vehicle and passenger vessels, offshore support vessels, high-speed vessels, icebreakers and submersible heavy lift barges.

Our horizons have expanded from western Norway, throughout Scandinavia and Europe, to work with owners and shipbuilders around the world. Today there are more than 100 ships of Multi Maritime AS design in operation around the word.
