RABN is an independent and privately-owned modern shipping company, providing a well-equipped fleet for trading all over Baltic and also the North Sea. We exist to improve our customers’ business by delivering their cargo with our qualified and highly motivated crews, who are always ready to make an extra effort to meet your exact needs.
We are fueled by purpose. At RABN, we leave nothing halfway.
RABN was founded in 2009 with an adventurous spirit and a visionary objective to make a difference in the field of maritime industry.
We were two captains with an ambitious mindset, who found themselves in front of a vast opportunity: to make their dreams come true. That time, it wasn’t the easiest days for the shipping industry, but Antti Partanen and Johan Liljeström decided to jump at the change and RABN – which stands for Rederi AB Nathalie – was founded.
Our company was named after our first vessel mv Nathalie, which happens to be also the very first ship in which we served together back in the days. Today, we proudly provide high-quality tonnage for our customers with a fleet of 5 units, in size ranging from 3000 to 5000 DWT (deadweight ton).
We strive to be the best possible employer for our talented crews, who are the cornerstone of our company. Our success is built on the performance and devotion of our people.
To maintain our vital and relevant status in the shipping industry, we think it takes a result-oriented attitude, perseverance and never settling. The only way is forward.
On Rederi AB Nathalie we are conscious about the influence on the environment regarding our sector of trade. We feel responsible to constantly improve our environmental performance.
On this basis the company has developed a policy along with a management system to stay in control of environmental matters. The aim of this policy is to set environmental standards for our operations in the shipping industry, and for us the minimum requisite is always to at least comply with the national and international rules and regulations. Furthermore, we aim to inspire our interactors to correspondingly devote to a more sustainable industry.
Rederi AB Nathalie is also participating in acts with local environmental devotion such as the Baltic Sea Action Group and Pidä Saaristo Siistinä. Not only do we believe in the increasing commercial value of greener transports, but we also have a genuine interest to preserve our common resources for the future.
“It feels good to be appreciated. RABN has always been a bit more than just a job.”
– Einar Kotka, captain
