Goodbye Oslo – thanks for the memories

Another Nor-Shipping has come and gone and we are now in full recovery mode after a busy week in Oslo.

The event had a number of highlights for us including the signing of our 18th Norwegian shipowner, SeaTrans (see pic below) cementing our position as the leading provider of maritime e-commerce services in this vital shipping market.

We also held our buyer shipping dinner in conjunction with EMS and Inmarsat/Navarino on Wednesday  in the plush surroundings of the Brasserie France in the heart of Oslo.  A good time was had by all and we even invented a new game – Karaoke roulette.

The DNV BBQ was also a great evening out despite the chilly conditions and it was heartening to see so many familiar faces and also a fair few new ones.

Last but not least, a big thank you to all our co-exhibitors from Express Shipchandlers, HMS, Veson Nautical and Phonic Marines.

You can see all the pictures from the event on our Facebook page.
