About Thor Thor Ltd is a shipping company located in Hósvík, a safe natural harbour, close to Tórshavn the capital of the Faroe Islands. The company's name is derived from "Hósvík", which means Thor's creek. Hós is an alternative spelling of Thor (sometimes written as Tor). Thor in Nordic mythology was the god of thunder, a very strong and powerful god who was also the guardian of the gods. Thor was established 10 August 1994. In the past the company was mainly active in the fishing industry operating gillnetters/longliners. However since 1997 it has been active in supplying support/escort/guard vessels for the off-shore oil industry and cable/pipe-laying operations. Thor prides itself on being an innovative, trustworthy and creative company. Today we operate a number of purpose built vessels based on our expertise and experience and in full consultation with our customers and employees.

Thor is ISO 9001, 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certified by DNV-GL as well as registered with Achilles and F-Pal.
