For over a century J. Lauritzen A/S (JL) has been actively involved in ocean transport within selected market segments. Over time the company name has evolved into a byword for respectability and trustworthiness in international merchant shipping. Founded in 1884, JL was initially a trading company dealing in building materials, and later fertiliser and coal. However, in 1887 with the commissioning of the 450 ton Uganda, JL changed course for good and entered the merchant shipping industry. Since the Uganda first set sail, the company has been involved in many different types of shipping consistently focusing on niche sectors, which typically require specialist equipment and know-how. Today, JL operates in three business areas: reefer goods (LauritzenCool), liquefied gases (Lauritzen Kosan), and dry bulk cargo (Lauritzen Bulkers).
