The foundation for what would later become Teigenes rederi was laid on Nerlandsøya in Herøy. Karl Teige, together with his sons, built the fishing vessel Kaston, and already the following year they built another boat, Delfin.
Delfin was in many ways a pioneering vessel, developed in step with emerging needs. It was, among other things, the first fishing boat in the area to have electric lighting and its own baiting house. During the war, it was chartered by the British Navy and used for transport, and when the war ended, it returned to fishing operations.
In 1947, Terje and Kåre Teige, together with their cousin Karl A. Teige, contracted the very first “Teigenes” – a 71.5-foot fishing vessel.

In 1957, Teigenes Company received its first steel vessel. This was the second boat in the Teigenes series, and it was built at Brattvåg Ship Interiors.
Here lies the Teigenes (1957) moored at the quay in Ålesund.
Due to the decline in fisheries along the Norwegian coast, catching porbeagle shark became important for many in the post-war years. Here, Teigenes is delivering porbeagle in Bremerhaven.
Jon Skår Jr. is considered one of Norway’s most innovative and forward-thinking fish buyers and exporters during the 1960s and 1970s. During this period, he was a key partner for the shipping company.
In 1966, the third vessel in the Teigenes Rederi fleet was introduced. The boat was delivered by Hatlø Mechanical Shipyard in Ulsteinvik. This was the first to be painted yellow – an unusual choice at the time.
Seeing the need for a specialized paint agent for shipping companies and shipyards, Sigurd Teige founded Westing. Drawing on his background in the fishing industry, he established the company with the goal of ensuring better protection of vessels in demanding conditions.
In 1985, the fourth “Teigenes” is delivered from Drammen Slip & Verksted in Drammen.

Globalfish, Eros, and Teigenes joined forces to build a reception and processing facility for pelagic fish at Eggesbønes in Herøy. Sigurd Teige and Geir Hoddevik played a key role in this initiative.
On August 26, 1992, the pelagic reception facility at Eggesbønes was opened, a result of the collaboration between Global Fish, Eros AS, and Teigenes AS. On the opening day, both “Eros” and “Teigenes” were docked at the quay.
The company Teigebris AS was established in connection with the acquisition of the majority of shares in the fishing vessel MS Sjøbris. The vessel was christened “Leikvin” and later sold to Måløy.
The fifth Teigenes vessel is built in Oltenita, Romania, and delivered in 2005. At the same time, the fourth Teigenes is renamed Sjøbris.

Zewo Chemicals AS is established with the goal of delivering effective and environmentally friendly chemicals to the industrial and maritime sectors.
Teigenes AS and Teigebris AS were split, with Knut Teige taking over Teigenes AS and Sigurd Teige taking over Teigebris AS. In connection with this, Teige Rederi was established, and Sansibar Holding was created as the parent company for the shipping operations. At the same time, the fishing vessel “MS Haugagut” was purchased and renamed “MS Leikvin.”
Teige Rederi enters into an agreement for the construction of the vessel Sunny Lady at Cemre Shipyard in Turkey.
