Höegh Autoliners ASA is a Norway-based ocean transportation company specializing in the roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) segment, serving both deep sea and short sea markets. Founded in 1927 and headquartered in Oslo, the company transports a diverse mix of wheeled and project cargo that cannot be efficiently containerized.
The business is organized into two segments: Shipping Services, which provides ocean cargo transportation for automobiles, trucks, buses, trailers, railcars, mining and construction equipment, agricultural machinery, boats, and yachts; and Logistics Services, which covers equipment handling and project cargo logistics. The company also engages in terminal-related activities, ship owning, crewing, and the use of SPVs for shipbuilding contracts. Its primary customers are global vehicle manufacturers and producers of high-and-heavy construction equipment.
As of December 31, 2025, the fleet comprised approximately 40 vessels, making Höegh Autoliners one of the leading operators in the global RoRo niche. The RoRo segment is a specialized sub-sector of marine transportation distinguished by purpose-built vessels that allow cargo to be driven on and off, making it the preferred mode for high-value rolling and non-rolling stock that requires secure, weather-protected handling.
- Chinese auto export surge boosts RoRo demand and volumes
- Aurora class newbuild deliveries expand fleet capacity and tonnage
- Red Sea diversions increase voyage costs and extend charter rates
