Notable speakers included host of the event COO Bjørn Hammer, VP Corporate Analysis Nils Jørgen Selvik representing Tankers, VP Finance Gustav Sannem on Financials, Senior Business Analyst Johannes Hystad sharing insights from the Analytics Department, and Managing Director Adrian Lenning together with Intern Tobias Fauske shedding light on Terminal Operations.
Project Manager Silje Johnsen delved into the complexities of Ship Management, while Ship Broker Sjur Lorentzen and Senior Ship Broker Jarl Hakvåg provided valuable perspectives from the Chartering Department. Each presentation not only offered insights into the specific department but also underscored the interconnectedness of roles within Odfjell.
The day concluded with an informal dinner for students to interact with the Odfjell'ers who had shared their insights earlier in the day. The event provided a platform for students to ask questions, explore specific areas of interest in greater depth, and establish connections with industry professionals.
The entire evening was well-received by the students, who expressed their gratitude, stating:
"We are very thankful for the opportunity to learn from industry professionals like you at Odfjell. An evening like this undoubtedly motivates us to pursue a career within the maritime industry."
