In 1963, to ensure a reliable supply for the family-owned oil company, Uno-X, Vitta and Peder Lysgaard decided to purchase their first vessel, the M/T Vitta Theresa, and this was the start of herning shipping a.s.
Today, the company operates a flexible, modern, and ever-expanding fleet of more than 40 sophisticated oil and chemical tankers.
What started as a family business has changed over the years. A change of ownership took place in 2007, when the founding family, a small number of investors, and the management became shareholders. Lars Vang Christensen, who came to the company at the end of 2004 as the first external CEO, is still the CEO, while Vitta Theresa Lysgaard served as chairman of the board until 2009 when she was replaced by Søren Thygesen.
