As Norway and other countries are slowly opening up after a month and a half of Covid-19 lockdown we’ll look at how the macroeconomic consequences are impacting the maritime industry. We are also taking a closer look at what the situation has been, and continues to be, for all the seafarers working to safeguard the global supply chain.
We are so fortunate to have Anders Helseth (Senior Economist at Menon) and Eli Vassenden (VP Shared Services at Grieg Star) share their perspectives with us and we hope you will join for what promises to be a very interesting webinar. ... See MoreSee Less

WEBINAR THURSDAY 16 APRIL 5-6PM
Dear WISTA members,
We have been lucky to get Knut Ola Skotvedt (Senior Vice President in DNB), Liv Hege Dyrnes (CFO of Klaveness) and Marit Kirkhusmo (Partner in SANDS and Board Member of GIEK), to speak to us about green financing and green reporting:
How do companies report green internally and externally?
What requirements must companies comply with to obtain financing?
What are the legal and regulatory requirements?
The speakers will have about 15 minutes each, followed by a discussion/questions from members.
Most of us are experiencing different working days and we hope this can be a welcomed opportunity to learn more about relevant developments in our industry, and a perhaps much needed break from Corona related topics.
Sign up via this link and you will get all the instructions needed to join: attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/2431370259310174731
We hope that many of you can join us this coming Thursday! ... See MoreSee Less

We had a big turnout for the «Maritime Meet-up» event which was hosted by Skuld in Oslo this evening: 60 people learned more about how to recognize and handle suppression techniques («hersketeknikker») by Hilde Sandvik - journalist and author of a book on the subject.
There was also useful experience sharing on the subject amongst the participants; definitely an engaging topic!
We rounded off the evening with speed dating between mentors and mentees - a collaboration between WISTA and YoungShip Oslo. We are lucky to have some experienced mentors (both male and female) in the mentor program, as well as many young, talented women who we all can learn a lot from!
A special thanks to Skuld for great venue, food & drinks and to the WISTA board members Astrid Lillebo and Emilie Christiansen for the event organizing🙏🏻 ... See MoreSee Less
