Höegh Autoliners ASA is a Norwegian pure-play operator in the roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) ocean transportation segment, listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange under the ticker HAUTO. Founded in 1927 and headquartered in Oslo, the company runs two reportable segments: Shipping Services and Logistics Services. Its core business is deep-sea and short-sea ocean transport of wheeled and rolling cargo that can be driven or rolled directly onto and off the vessel, eliminating the need for cranes.
The company carries automobiles, trucks, buses, trailers, railcars, mining and construction equipment, agricultural machinery, boats, and other rolling and non-rolling stock. Customers include major vehicle manufacturers and producers of high-and-heavy construction equipment. Beyond shipping, the company provides equipment handling, project cargo logistics, terminal services, ship management, crewing, and uses special-purpose vehicles (SPVs) to enter shipbuilding contracts.
As of December 31, 2025, the fleet consisted of approximately 40 vessels. The business sits within the GICS Marine Transportation sub-industry, a capital-intensive part of the Industrials sector where operators typically compete on vessel utilization, schedule reliability, and the ability to serve high-and-heavy cargo that does not fit standard container ships.
- Global vehicle sales recovery lifts deep-sea RoRo volumes
- IMO carbon rules accelerate dual-fuel vessel fleet renewal
- High and heavy cargo demand rises on infrastructure spending
