- Höegh Autoliners ASA is a global provider of Roll-on Roll-off (RoRo) ocean transportation services specializing in the deep-sea and short-sea carriage of automobiles, high and heavy machinery, breakbulk cargo, trucks, buses, trailers, railcars, mining equipment, agricultural machinery, construction equipment, power equipment, and boats. The company operates a fleet of approximately 39 Pure Car and Truck Carrier (PCTC) vessels across global trade lanes, making about 3,000 port calls annually and serving international shipping markets primarily from its headquarters in Oslo, Norway. Founded in 1927, Höegh Autoliners serves automotive manufacturers and industrial customers worldwide, delivering safe and secure transport solutions along with equipment handling and project cargo logistics as well as terminal management, ship owning, and chartering services.
Recent major changes include Höegh Autoliners' launch and deployment of its Aurora Class vessels, including the naming of the fifth vessel, Höegh Sunrise, in Japan in 2025, marking a significant advancement toward zero-emission, environmentally sustainable deep-sea shipping. The Aurora Class is considered the largest and most environmentally friendly car carrier built, underscoring the company's strategic shift toward decarbonization and sustainability. In 2025, Höegh Autoliners exercised an option to purchase the leased vessel Höegh Copenhagen, enhancing fleet ownership and reducing capacity costs. The company also updated its Bunker Adjustment Factor (BAF) in April 2025 to secure adaptability to future fuel standards while ensuring pricing transparency. Additionally, in December 2024, it signed a landmark five-year contract with a major international car manufacturer to transport significant volumes in key trade lanes, reinforcing its robust contract backlog and strategic customer relationships.
Höegh Autoliners employs around 1,600 people across 16 offices worldwide, focusing on long-term partnerships and sustainability within the shipping industry. Its operational segments include shipping services and logistics services, with a strong emphasis on reducing carbon footprint while supporting the decarbonization of customers' supply chains. The company continues expanding its fleet with newbuilds expected to enter service over the next few years, further enhancing its capacity to provide sustainable and efficient RoRo transportation globally. Höegh Autoliners' comprehensive service portfolio and recent strategic initiatives position it as a leading player in the international RoRo shipping market.
