About UQP
An agency model that has served Norwegian shipping since 1946.
History
Ulrik Qvale & Partners AS was founded in 1946 and adopted its current name in 1988. From the beginning the business model has been the same: representation of first-class international marine suppliers as their marketing agent in Norway.
Exclusive agency contracts with international shipyards and suppliers are at the core of the company. UQP works in close contact with ship owners, operators and offshore companies, matching each project with the right yard or supplier.
From our office in Oslo our team offers around-the-clock service. Together with our principals we offer a wide range of services — from small port repairs to dry-dockings and major conversions, as well as machinery overhaul and supply of spares.
