Oslo’s shipping elite — old and new — enjoyed the chance to kick back with friends and colleagues at TradeWinds’ Nor-Shipping party last week.
Tickets to the renowned event on the Christian Radich were among the hottest in town as tens of thousands of shipping people descended on the Norwegian capital for the conference and basked in blazing sunshine and soaring temperatures.
Henning Oldendorff rubbed shoulders with Frontline Management chief executive Lars Barstad, Flex LNG chief executive Oystein Kalleklev, Ifchor co-chief executive Manu Ravano, Affinity (Shipping)’s Richard Fulford-Smith and 260 other guests on the beautiful 86-year-old, three-masted sail training ship.
Other top executives in attendance included GMS chief executive Anil Sharma, Nordic American Tankers CEO Herbjorn Hansson, American Bureau of Shipping chief operating officer John McDonald, SFL Corp chief operating officer Trym Otto Sjolie, Golden Ocean Group interim chief executive Lars-Christian Svensen and Bonheur chairman Anette Olsen, whose company is the majority owner of TradeWinds’ parent company.
Guests were welcomed aboard by TradeWinds editor-in-chief Julian Bray and American Bureau of Shipping vice president Ezekiel Davis, who supported the event. The party was the first of two days of TradeWinds festivities on the historic training ship, which rose to fame for its role in the 1958 documentary film Windjammer.
