Founded in 1921, OLDENDORFF CARRIERS combines its history as a German shipowner with the network of one of the world's leading drybulk operators. We currently control some 750 chartered and owned vessels of 67 mio tdw, and we carry around 330 mio tons of raw materials and semi-finished products across the seven seas each year. Our customers can expect 100% performance. All the way.

In recent years, Oldendorff has modernised its IT landscape and established a dedicated Data & Analytics organisation to support better decision-making across Chartering, Finance, Fleet, and Operations. As part of our growth, we are expanding the Analytics team to 18 people.

Our focus is not on traditional reporting. We build analytical data products that deliver actionable insights, enable better decisions, and create measurable business value. Looking ahead, we are investing in AI-ready data products, conversational interfaces, and modern self-service experiences that transform how people interact with data.

Join Oldendorff Carriers and help make data-driven decision-making a real competitive advantage while supporting our long-term ambitions for sustainable growth and carbon neutrality by 2050.
