J. Lauritzen injects fresh capital in new funds after "satisfactory" 2023

The investment company, which owns Lauritzen Bulkers and several investments, landed a reduced bottom line profit last year, while dividends doubled. 
”We are contributing USD 20m to the new fund. I won’t disclose how much we paid to get an ownership stake in the management company, but we took it as a compliment that we were given the opportunity to buy into it,” says Kristian V. Mørch, chief executive of J. Lauritzen. | Photo: Gunnar Eide/odfjell
