What Erria does

Erria A/S is a Danish publicly-listed maritime services holding company founded in 1992 and headquartered in Køge, Denmark, with operations in Vietnam and Singapore. The company operates four core service lines through wholly-owned subsidiaries: (1) Ship Management and Marine Warranty Surveying (MWS) under Erria A/S in Denmark, providing vessel operations, crew management, regulatory compliance, and independent third-party technical risk reviews for offshore marine construction; (2) Container Services through Erria Container Services Ltd. (ECS) in Vietnam, offering strategic storage, depot handling, cleaning, refurbishment, and reefer container handling; (3) Safety Equipment through Mermaid Maritime Vietnam, providing lifesaving and firefighting equipment servicing for Vietnam's offshore industry; and (4) Security Seals through Cathay Seal Pte Ltd. in Singapore, manufacturing and distributing RFID-equipped container security seals. Erria also operates an Offshore Personnel Services (OPS) line supplying specialized personnel for subsea fiber optic cable installation and power transmission projects.

The company employs approximately 175 people globally and claims service reach across more than 120 countries, anchored by direct B2B sales relationships with tier-one maritime and energy customers including Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd, ONE, Vestas, Ørsted, Seadrill, Noble Corporation, Alcatel, Louis Dreyfus, and Lauritzen Bulkers. Revenue was DKK 201 million in 2023 (a 27% increase) and DKK 186 million in 2024, with profitability sustained for three consecutive years through 2023. Erria has been listed on Nasdaq First North Growth Market Denmark since 2007 under ticker ERRIA, with Harbour Group Holding ApS as the largest shareholder at 18.82% (April 2026 figure) and the top ten shareholders collectively holding 72.92% of shares.

The business model is asset-light professional services and specialty hardware distribution, priced on a quote-based B2B basis with no publicly disclosed pricing. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales leveraging multi-decade customer relationships and a diversified service portfolio that allows cross-selling across ship owners, offshore operators, and container logistics firms. Revenue streams derive primarily from professional service fees (ship management, MWS, container depot services, safety equipment servicing) with a smaller hardware sales component (security seals).
