A proud maritime tradition

Driving business forward
With extensive shipbroking experience from London and the Norwegian market, CEO Morten Müller was pivotal in establishing the company as a leading provider of maritime financing and advisory services. Japan has been, and continues to be, a valued partner on this journey.
“Norwegian maritime companies often share the same long-term business approach as leading Japanese companies,” Müller said. “Despite the challenges the global economy is currently facing, this approach allows us to leverage our close relationships and drive business forward.”
