PRODUCTS USED:
Wilhelmsen Chemicals is part of the Wilhelmsen Group, a global maritime company operating in 57 countries and serving more than 2,200 ports worldwide. The business manufactures chemical products for internal group operations as well as for external customers, producing a wide range of solutions including maritime water treatment products, screen wash, and disinfectants. These products are sold directly to businesses under the Blåtind, CERTUS and Cleanline brands, and Wilhelmsen Chemicals also supplies products on a white-label basis for several other organisations.
EcoOnline’s chemical safety software has helped Wilhelmsen Chemicals move from reactive management to running compliance with confidence. That means accurate data, audit-ready documentation, and a compliance process the whole organisation can rely on.
Almego is very accurate and the data is reliable.
– Caroline Sørensen Singam,
Head of ESG and Product Compliance
A growing remit and complex landscape
When Caroline Sørensen Singam took on the role of Head of ESG and Product Compliance in 2025, she stepped into a significantly expanded brief. Her team of four, comprising three chemical engineers and herself, is responsible for maintaining and creating Safety Data Sheets, distributing chemical safety information to customers, and keeping pace with a regulatory environment that is not standing still.
For Caroline and the team new chemical hazard classes such as endocrine disruptors, tighter regulation of PFAS (or ‘forever chemicals’), and the realities of complex international operating models all add pressure to an already demanding function.
To manage it effectively, the team needed software they could trust.
One partner. Three solutions.
Wilhelmsen Chemicals has been an EcoOnline customer since 2014. What started with Chemical Management software has grown in scope along with the requirements of the business, with the subsequent addition of Almego SDS Authoring software and Chemical Distribution software underpinning compliance at every stage of the process.
Chemical Manager gives everyone at Wilhelmsen Chemicals access to up-to-date safety information across nearly 1,000 substances. Almego handles the creation and ongoing maintenance of Safety Data Sheets. SDS Distribution software ensures customers receive accurate, compliant documentation when they need it.
Together, they have replaced a fragmented, manual approach with something consistent, scalable, and built for an operation of this complexity.

Accuracy that compliance depends on
Before Almego, creating and updating Safety Data Sheets was a task that fell to compliance experts. It was time-consuming and required vigilance to make sure documents were not out of date or contained errors.
Now, that effort is dramatically reduced, with the accuracy to match. For Caroline, who has worked with other SDS authoring tools, the difference is clear.
Out-of-date documentation doesn’t just create audit exposure. It creates rework. With Almego managing updates, that risk is removed.
A partnership that goes the distance
Behind the software is a relationship built over a decade. Caroline’s team has worked with the same EcoOnline Customer Success Manager for several years, and that continuity has made a real difference.
Wilhelmsen Chemicals’ white-label model for manufacturing and distributing their products creates compliance requirements that do not always fit standard configurations. When those challenges arose, EcoOnline worked with the team collaboratively. Regular ideation sessions, tailored solutions, and dedicated hands-on support was available at every stage.
For Wilhelmsen Chemicals, EcoOnline is more than a software provider. It is a partner that understands the complexity of their operation and has grown alongside it.
