Founded on 1 December 1980 in the Port of Aarhus, Denmark, Baltic Control® began as a small, independent inspection company - an alternative to the large, traditional market players of the time, often associated with a lack of transparency. From the very beginning, our mission has been clear: to deliver reliable, impartial and highly professional inspection services.

In the early years, our operations focused mainly on the agricultural and feed sectors, particularly on grain and commodity movements between Scandinavia and Eastern Europe. Over time, driven by ambition, expertise and a commitment to quality, Baltic Control® expanded its activities into new regions and diversified into new service areas.
