History for the Preservationist:
History for the Preservationist: Olsen & Ugelstad is a defunct Norwegian shipping company.  The company was founded in 1915 by Kristoffer Olsen, Sr. and Rudolf Ugelstad. The company, headquartered in Oslo, Norway had five ships in its fleet in 1915, and operated mainly with general cargo ships and tankers.
In 1935 Olsen & Ugelstad began summer service between Europe and the Great Lakes via the Fjell Line using 2,500 dwt vessels suited to the Great Lakes trade. In the same year the company began service between Palestine and Northern Europe in general cargo vessels carrying fruit. .  Olsen & Ugelstad discontinued the Great Lakes route in 1972.
After his father’s death in 1948, Kristoffer Olsen,  Jr. became a partner and managing director. Rolf and Trygve Ugelstad took over from Rudolf Ugelstad. In 1966, Olsen & Ugelstad had 30 ships with a total deadweight of 662,320 tons. By 1970, the number of ships had dropped to 18. In 1972, the Ugelstad brothers withdrew and a new limited company with the same name incorporated. Gradually as capital was siphoned away to more attractive investments, the company continued to decline and declared bankruptcy in 1978.
