Head of Ship Management

Fuldtid

DFDS made the difficult decision to sell the Oslo-Frederikshavn-Copenhagen (OFC) route to Gotlandsbolaget on June 11th with effect from November 1st, 2024. This means that we are now able to offer a candidate the opportunity to join Gotlandsbolaget on an exciting growth journey. You will be hired and employed by Alvina Shipping A/S OFC – part of Gotlandsbolaget together with +800 sea-based and shore-side colleagues.

As the Head of Ship Management, you will be responsible for driving an efficient, safe and reliable operation for the vessels in the Oslo-Copenhagen route and ensure continuous improvement related to efficiency, safety and reliability.

Working at “OFC”, a part of Gotlandsbolaget:

The “OFC” will be a subsidiary to Gotlandsbolaget. You will have colleagues close by in the “OFC” organization, but also be part of a bigger group. Since we as a company are developing, we believe it is important that you also want to develop, and we will encourage you to challenge yourself to acquire new skills and perspectives.

In addition to offering a role with plenty of influential possibilities and responsibility, we offer a working environment in an informal and international organization. “OFC” is, although existing, being built up and Gotlandsbolaget is in a strong development phase. You will be part of that journey. As an employee in the group, we value dedication, cooperation, and delivering on your commitment. Another core value within the group is movement, which is a good description of where we are right now.

About Gotlandsbolaget:

With Gotland as the base, Gotlandsbolaget runs passenger services and cruises between Gotland, Nynäshamn, Oskarshamn, Stockholm, and Mariehamn. With the purchase of the route between Copenhagen and Oslo, we will add two more Nordic countries. We invest in the shipping of the future and new technology, as well as develop sustainable destinations and places to visit. In Gotland, we own several hotels and properties. Gotlandsbolaget was founded in 1865 and is Sweden’s oldest passenger shipping company, and ever since, Gotlandsbolaget has brought Gotland and the mainland closer to each other. The Group today has 600 employees, is headquartered in Visby on the island of Gotland, and is listed on Nasdaq First North, Sweden. During the fall of 2024, we will become approximately 1,400 employees with the integration of the Oslo-Frederikshavn-Copenhagen route.

Travel days:
In order to perform to the expectations of the role, you must anticipate 30-35 travel days a year.
