We would like to congratulate Ms Natalja Sunevica, Member of Wista Norway for successfully completing her ICS Foundation Diploma. Ms Sunevica was one of our scholarship recipients in the academic year 2019 – 2020.
Here is what she had to say:
“It could feel rather challenging and overwhelming to proceed with the studies parallel to work and private life. Do not get discouraged: one thing at a time will get you there. Make sure you follow the study plan provided by WISTA. With this you will have a consistent workflow and a good time for exam preparations. Make use of the tutors and make sure to submit all the assignments (or at least as much as possible) - tutors provide you with a valuable feedback and give good tips / practical examples…”

Julie Synnøve Bøe has been on the sea since 1995 and is now the Chief Engineer at the Bastø Fosen Ferry and also works onboard D/S Kysten. She is a board member of the Norwegian Union of Marine Engineers and has worked for years to strengthen the maritime industry from the inside, in particular with supporting women in the maritime industry and make seafarers more visible. At the Stiv Kuling conference Julie shared her thoughts on how we can attract more students and young professionals to our industry and her tips and experiences from working as a woman in a traditionally male dominated profession. Julie’s interview is now available with English subtitles – enjoy!

At the “Stiv Kuling” conference in September Matt Duke, CEO of Grieg Star Group and one of the most forward-leaning leaders in our industry, discussed the changes our industry are facing with Siv Kathrin Toft Remøy, CEO of Maritime Bergen. According to Matt businesses need to find new business models and take a leading role in the transition towards a sustainable future. Although Matt is a native English speaker the discussion took place in Norwegian and Matt showcased an impressive Bergen dialect – for those who do not speak Norwegian Matt’s discussion with Siv is now available with English subtitles - we hope this discussion will leave you inspired!

As we go into colder and darker months with inceased corona restrictions we think back to the AGM in Tromsø in 2018 which makes us smile and remember the good time we all had!
