What Grieg Edge does

Grieg Edge is the dedicated innovation and sustainability unit of Grieg Maritime Group, established in 2019 and headquartered in Bergen, Norway. The company operates as an industrial project developer and venture builder focused on decarbonizing the maritime sector through two integrated verticals: Short-Sea Shipping and New Energy. Its Short-Sea business, run through the Skarv Shipping Solutions joint venture with Peak Group, is developing a fleet of low-carbon 7,000 dwt multi-purpose vessels (four firm-ordered, four optional) designed to be ammonia- or methanol-ready with battery, shore-power, and fuel-cell-ready electrical architectures, targeting European project-cargo and wind-turbine-component logistics.

Its New Energy business spans the full green-fuel value chain: MS Green Ammonia — an ammonia-fuelled ammonia tanker and bunkering vessel with 5,000-tonne per-trip capacity, dual-fuel engines meeting up to 85% of energy needs from ammonia, and DNV principal approval received in 2022 (planned 2028 delivery, supported by an 80 million NOK Enova grant awarded December 2024); North Ammonia, a JV with Arendals Fossekompani producing green hydrogen and ammonia via electrolysis in Arendal; the Slagen Energy Hub, a four-party JV with Esso Norge, GreenH, and North Ammonia targeting 50 tonnes/day of green hydrogen and 200,000 tonnes/year of green ammonia distribution at the Oslo fjord by 2028; and a minority equity stake in GreenH, a hydrogen infrastructure developer. The vessel designs integrate Wärtsilä's 25 Ammonia propulsion technology, batteries, shore power, and wind-assisted propulsion, targeting approximately 90% GHG reduction versus diesel.

Grieg Edge employs 7 people across investment, engineering, and project development roles, with a leadership team drawn from Grieg Maritime Group, PwC Norway, and Arkwright consulting. The company's go-to-market is structured around co-development partnerships and joint ventures rather than direct sales; revenue (not publicly disclosed) is expected to accrue from vessel ownership/operations, JV equity distributions, and infrastructure tolling once assets enter commercial service between 2025 and 2028. Capital intensity is partially de-risked through Norwegian government programs (Enova, Pilot-E, Innovation Norway, Research Council of Norway).

Revenue model

1. Vessel Development and Ownership: Development and ownership of ammonia-fuelled vessels (MS Green Ammonia) that transport green ammonia and serve as bunkering vessels. The vessels are designed to be emission-free and are planned for delivery in 2028.
2. Short-Sea Shipping Operations: Through Skarv Shipping Solutions JV, operating short-sea multi-purpose vessels (7,000 dwt) that are low-carbon and designed for cargo transport including wind turbine components and project cargo in Europe.
3. Renewable Energy Project Investment: Investments in renewable energy projects and companies (hydrogen, ammonia, bio-fuels) covering the supply chain from production to end-user, including infrastructure development like Slagen Energy Hub.
4. Green Ammonia Production: Through North Ammonia joint venture, producing green hydrogen through electrolysis with renewable energy and green ammonia as an efficient energy carrier for maritime customers.

Core offering

Grieg Edge is the dedicated innovation unit of Grieg Maritime Group that develops green maritime projects with industry partners and invests in ocean ventures. It develops and co-owns ammonia-fuelled vessels (MS Green Ammonia bunkering vessel, Skarv short-sea multi-purpose vessels), green ammonia and hydrogen production facilities (North Ammonia, GreenH, Slagen Energy Hub), and short-sea shipping services to decarbonize the maritime industry.

Product overview

Grieg Edge operates as a maritime sustainability venture developer within the Grieg Maritime Group, established in 2019. Its product portfolio spans two core verticals: (1) Short-Sea Shipping — encompassing Skarv Cormorant Class multi-purpose cargo vessels (ammonia/methanol-ready) and the Skarv Shipping Solutions JV with Peak Group, targeting emission-free European short-sea freight; and (2) New Energy — comprising MS Green Ammonia (an ammonia-fuelled bunkering tanker), North Ammonia (green ammonia/hydrogen production in Arendal), Slagen Energy Hub (hydrogen/ammonia distribution in Oslo fjord), and GreenH (hydrogen infrastructure hubs). These products form an integrated value chain from green fuel production to end-user delivery, positioning Grieg Edge as an infrastructure and project developer rather than a traditional product company.
