About the company
The company
The ship Götheborg is owned by SOIC (Svenska Ostindiska Companiet). SOIC is also the owner of Rederi Götheborg AB, that bare boat charters Götheborg.
Götheborg of Sweden is the world's largest ocean-going wooden sailing ship. In 2022 and 2023 the ship has been on a year-long expedition. In June 2023 she returned to Gothenburg to officially open the city's 400-year anniversary with gun salute.
Our owners
SOIC is a fully owned subsidiary of Greencarrier Group, a family-owned company with over 40 years of history specializing in logistics solutions. Greencarrier Group comprises several businesses in the Nordic and Baltic countries and offers global logistics solutions with all modes of transport, focusing on knowledge, innovation and sustainable solutions.
Meet the owner of Götheborg
In this article the owner of Greencarrier Group, Stefan Björk, shares his personal motivations behind acquiring the Götheborg – a business decision made by the heart. With candor, he discusses the inherent challenges and remarkable advantages of owning the world's largest ocean-going wooden sailing ship. He also opens up about why he welcomes and encourages other companies and partners to join him and Greencarrier on the extraordinary journey and adventure that is Götheborg. This is a read that should not be missed!
The ship's principal patron and godmother
We are very proud to present His Majesty King Carl XVI Gustaf as the ship’s principal patron and Her Majesty Queen Silvia as the ship’s godmother.
