In total, Clipper operates a fleet of around 160 dry bulk vessels.

Clipper Group is commercially headquartered in Copenhagen and legally in Nassau, Bahamas, and has approximately 200 employees on shore and more than 1,400 seafarers.

On 7 November 2008, a group of armed pirates hijacked a Clipper-owned vessel, the CEC Future, off the northern coast of Somalia.

[1] The ship's crew of thirteen was held hostage for 71 days and finally released on 16 January 2009, following negotiations by CEO Per Gullestrup who orchestrated a ransom payment of $1.7 million.

This incident subsequently became the inspiration for the Danish movie, A Hijacking which was released in 2012.
