Ove Dines Høegh passed away
Ove Dines Høegh, a visionary leader and key architect of the Höegh legacy, passed away peacefully on 11 January 2025, at the age of 88. Ove was the son of company founder Leif Høegh and the father of the current Chair of Höegh Autoliners, Leif O. Høegh.
Over seven decades, Ove was part of leading the Höegh family companies and it was under his leadership, that Leif Høegh & Co. expanded to the vehicle transport segment in 1970 through the Höegh Ugland Auto Liners (HUAL) joint venture – the predecessor and the basis for developing the company into the current major ro-ro operator.
Years after he stepped back from daily involvement in shipping activities, Leif Höegh & Co., in March 2000, acquired the remaining 50% of HUAL and later renamed it Höegh Autoliners.
