CEO Statement

At Jifmar, sustainability is not just a word or a concept, it’s a driver for our choices and our actions. We are deeply convinced that to grow, a company needs to innovate, and to survive, it needs to create long-term value. Innovation and sustainable performance are the key to the success of tomorrow’s businesses, and Jifmar aims to be one of them.

With the acquisition of Acta Marine Workboats in Decembrer 2023, Jifmar has passed a milestone. By joining forces, the Jifmar Group is now not only the world’s leading independent workboat operator, but also a pioneer in the decarbonisation of its fleet. By the end of 2023, the group had almost 600 employees with a fleet of more than 70 vessels, including ship offering alternative energy solutions. In 2023, we strengthened the Group’s foundations. 2024 will be a year of construction, and we are determined that this construction will continue to take place through innovation and sustainable growth.

"Together, let’s build the
maritime world of tomorrow"
