Career at Erik Thun Group
A steady course, powered by people.
At Erik Thun Group, we’ve been navigating change for generations — always with the same compass: long-term thinking and genuine care for the people who make it all happen.
We’re a family-owned company, and that spirit runs deep. Whether you work at sea or on shore, you’ll find an environment built on trust, responsibility, and teamwork. Many of our colleagues have been with us for decades — a fact we’re proud of and a testament to how we do things. Through highs, lows, and even economic storms, we stay the course together.
Join us, and you’ll be part of a company where:
Decisions are made quickly — and your ideas actually matter.
Everyone takes responsibility — because we trust you to do your job well.
Community isn’t just a word — it’s how we work, on board and in the office.
Life Onboard
Our vessels are known for their strong sense of camaraderie, high safety standards, and efficient operations. You’ll be trusted to take initiative, use your expertise, and play an important role in a crew that truly functions as a team.
Life Ashore
Our offices are run much like our ships — efficiently, with short communication lines and plenty of trust. Here, you’ll have real impact, close collaboration across departments, and the opportunity to grow with us for the long run.

About us
Erik Thun Group is a Swedish family-owned shipping company based in Lidköping. We operate internationally with a focus on sustainable transport and long-term relationships. Our business is based on experience, responsibility and a desire to constantly develop.
"I’m 62 and still love what I do
- not many can say that."
Even though Erik Thun Group is a large company, it feels small-scale – familiar, helpful, and loyal. Being captain feels like running your own little company at sea, and when you go home, you can truly disconnect.
– Per Fransson, Captain, M/V Tidan
Our vision remains unchanged:
“A sustainable Swedish partner over generations.”
We are guided by values of being long-term, responsible, and committed—principles that shape every vessel we launch and every partnership we build.
