Nordic Ship Services operates as a dedicated maritime logistics and support provider, firmly established within the maritime infrastructure of Estonia and the wider Baltic Sea region. Since its inception in 2006, the company has focused its operations on bridging the critical gap between shore-based resources and vessels navigating the Gulf of Finland. Unlike generalist logistics firms, the organization maintains a specialized operational profile that combines the administrative functions of a ship agency with the physical capabilities of a technical service provider. This dual approach allows the company to support merchant shipping, naval vessels, and offshore projects with a high degree of autonomy and responsiveness.
Central to its operations is the management of a private fleet of workboats and service launches. These assets enable the company to perform direct logistical interventions at anchorage areas, ensuring that vessels do not need to enter port for minor transfers or supplies. This capability is essential for facilitating crew changes, transporting technical personnel, and delivering provisions to ships waiting in roadsteads. The company complements its maritime transport solutions with licensed land-based transportation, managing the movement of seafarers and specialists between ports and transit hubs, thereby controlling the entire chain of custody for personnel transfer.
Beyond logistics, the company provides technical maritime solutions, specifically in the domain of underwater services. Utilizing its own vessels and equipment, the firm conducts underwater inspections, hull cleaning, and maintenance tasks that are critical for vessel efficiency and regulatory compliance. This technical expertise extends to ice advisory services, a necessary competency for navigating the freezing conditions of the Northern Baltic winters where operational continuity requires specific regional knowledge.
The organization holds recognized certification as a ships’ agent and operates in full compliance with national maritime and border guard regulations. By maintaining a permanent presence in key Estonian ports and anchorages, Nordic Ship Services secures its role as a reliable local partner for international shipowners. Its evolution from a regional transport provider to a comprehensive maritime service entity reflects a deep integration into the supply chain of the Eastern Baltic, supporting the continuous flow of maritime commerce through one of Europe’s most strategic waterways.
