Someone that has one of the published Wilh Wilhelmsen fleet histories will no doubt find more but, as I understand it, WW ran Barber Line - a round-the-world cargo liner service based in New York which started in 1969 as a JV of WW, Fearnley & Eger and Klaveness (and took its name from long-time US agents Barber Steamship Co). WW had bought out the Norwegian partners by the time Barber Blue Sea was formed in 1975 with, as Pieter says, Blue Funnel (Ocean) and Broströms' Swedish East Asiatic Co (Seaco) - by 1989 WW had bought out the interests of both of the partners in the ConRo service.

Barwil also has origins in the Wilhelmsen ownership of Barber Line, but I think has always been used as service company name for agency, shipmanagement etc

Husni, perhaps somebody in your office is able to tell more about the history? But i am sure many old hands here also know quite a lot.

Husni, if I am not mistaken Barber Blue Sea was a RoRo consortium, consisting of Ocean Fleets, Wilh. Wilhelmsen and Swedish (America?) Line. The consortium was dissolved in 1989. I am not sure if Barwil was another name for the same consortium. This one was owned by Wilhelmsen.
