Dybwad-Olsen AS has a history going back to 1928, when H. Hornemann established a company in Oslo in his own name, dealing with marine bunkers and lubricants. Since then, the company has represented Gulf Oil in Norway, and later Chevron Petroleum after the Chevron - Gulf merger in 1984. The company changed to its present name in 1979, when Ola Dybwad-Olsen took over as sole owner and manager.
The bunker business was organised under a separate company, Euro-Oil AS, who shared offices and facilities with Dybwad-Olsen AS, until the merger with Aagaard Bunker Brokers AS, as of May 1, 2000. This company has changed name to Wilhelmsen Bunkers AS, operating out of the WW-building at Lysaker, and has become one of the leading bunker companies in Europe. As a consequence of this transaction, Dybwad-Olsen AS has moved offices to the Wilhelmsen building, from where activities are now run.
Following the take over of Hornemann, Dybwad-Olsen AS reorganised and expanded its activities within the agency and marketing of products and services to the shipping industry. Marine lubricants is still the back-bone of the company and we now represent Fuel and Marine Marketing LLC - FAMM - the result of the merger between Chevron`s and Texaco`s marine oil activities, a division within Chevron Global Lubricants.
Dybwad-Olsen AS today represent various foreign companies in Norway/Scandinavia, covering products and services within marine oils, ship- and repair yards, technical equipment and spare parts, towing services and bunker broking/marine fuel oil sales. We employ 4 people, who are involved in our around the clock relationships with the shipowners, managers and operators, and their technical, purchasing, and operations and financial people. Building up the personal relationships and giving first class quality services to our customers, are the key factors and main reasons for our success.
