[edit] History
Odfjell was created as a merge between a number of Odfjell Family owned companies in the 1930s. The business grew, and in the 1970s Odfjell started with tankers. In 1983 the first tank terminal was opened in Houston, United States. By 2000 this had increased to six terminals. In 1986 the Odfjell Family sold 33% of the company and listed it on Oslo Stock Exchange.
