What does your day-to-day look like at ABL?
“It varies. Considering we are required to make site visits frequently, there is a lot of traveling. However, I do get to spend some time at the office and spend quality time with my colleagues.
What inspired you to join your industry?
Growing up, my dad had so many senior ship staff home for dinner (from tanker lightering vessels) and I was enamoured by the fact that they worked hard and were able to make a good living while seeing the world. This excited me and determined the course of my career.
Can you tell us about something exciting you are working on right now?
I am currently working on several marine insurance cases. This type of work challenges me to stay sharp and maintain an objective perspective.
What does the future look like in energy and oceans in Norway ?
Norway is working towards a greener future, focusing on sustainable ports, vessels, and infrastructure. The country’s commitment to green initiatives is promising.
What do you enjoy most about working as part of the ABL Group team in Stavanger ?
