About Us

Who we are

We are a shipowning company established in 2019

The ice-strengthened Polar pioneer is a well-known and beloved legend with over two decades of polar region expeditions. Since the purchase of the vessel in March 2021, the new owners have invested and upgraded the ship to a higher standard of comfort, improved safety and sustainability. 

Polar Pioneer was Reborn and introduced to her home, the polar regions, for the spring of 2022.

The people behind Polar Alca Maritime AB have different backgrounds, experiences and knowledge from shipping that complement each other well. 
Together with our distinguished partners we constitute a solid and strong team with cutting edge qualifications to form a modern and environmental positive shipowning company.
