History and Development

Founded in 1889 as a general cargo shipping company, TORM gradually transitioned into refined product transportation as global fuel demand expanded in the 20th century.

During the late 20th century, the company expanded and specialized its tanker fleet to focus on petroleum product shipping. In the 2000s, TORM modernized its fleet and strengthened its position in the refined products segment.

Following corporate restructuring in the mid-2010s, the company reinforced its focus on operational efficiency and fleet optimization.

In recent years, TORM has emphasized energy-efficient vessel upgrades, emissions reduction measures, and disciplined capital allocation, maintaining its role as a global operator in refined fuel transportation.
