Trondheim, Norway, 12th September 2024 – The meeting was held at the historic Storsal Lodge built in 1902.
European Maritime Finance hosted the Environmental Shipping conference in Trondheim, Norway dedicated to improved sustainable shipping initiatives. Trondheim is the third largest city and is considered the technology capital of Norway. Trondheim was selected because it is the home of the globally recognized Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), and over 15% of the city residents are students. Trondheim is the home to NINA (Norwegian Institute for Nature Research) and the World’s Northernmost energy-positive building, Powerhouse Brattorkaia, which produces over twice as much energy as it consumes daily.
The conference brought together investors, maritime experts, and the world-class expertise of Clarksons’ analysis. Notable participants included EMF’s Co-founder and Board Member, Martin Almdal; Chief Executive Officer, Torben Bager; Stephen Schueler, Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer and Magne Juvik, Head of the EMF Norway office. The event also featured Even Kolsgaard from the globally recognized firm, Clarkson’s.
