Isak Martinius Skaugen

Isak Martinius Skaugen (1875–1962), was a Norwegian businessperson.

He was a sea captain by profession. In 1916 in Risør he founded the shipping company which still exists under the name I. M. Skaugen.[1] His sons Sigurd, Brynjulf and Morits were taken on board as partners in 1952, and the brothers (Sigurd died in 1975) later controlled the company.[2] The company was passed on to the third generation represented by Morits Skaugen, Jr. and Brynjulf Skaugen, Jr., and split in two, in 1990.[3]

The Norwegian Society for Sea Rescue vessel RS Kaptein Skaugen was named after Isak Martinius Skaugen, and given to the Society by Morits and Brynjulf Skaugen.[4]
