About Kaizen Shipping
Our history, values, and vision for the future of shipping and logistics.
What does Kaizen mean?
Kaizen (改善) is a Japanese term that means "change for the better" or "continuous improvement." It is a philosophy that focuses on the continuous improvement of processes in manufacturing, engineering, business management, and all aspects of life.
At Kaizen Shipping, we have adopted this philosophy as the core of our business. We believe that small, incremental improvements over time lead to significant results. This applies to everything from our internal processes to how we deliver services to our customers.
Our approach to Kaizen involves continuously evaluating and improving all aspects of our business, listening to feedback from customers and employees, and implementing innovative solutions to meet the changing needs of the market.
Per Kristian Edvartsen
"I am driven by growth – both personally and professionally. For me, it's not about quick wins, but about moving steadily in the right direction, grounded in core values: integrity, accountability, and honesty."
"The concept of Kaizen – which means continuous improvement – has shaped how I think and work. I believe in long-term relationships, clear communication, and doing the right thing, even when it's difficult."
"I stand firm in the face of challenges, learn from experience, and believe that we grow through what we go through. This is how you build something that lasts – in business, in collaboration, and in life."
