The inauguration was followed by a business seminar focusing on sustainability in supply chains and renewable energy. Harald Fotland gave a speech and participated in a panel discussion on behalf of the Norwegian Shipowners’ Association (where he is a board representative) and Odfjell.

The seminar attracted more than 100 participants and focused on how the stakeholders can work together to make the supply chains more effective, including the production and transition to greener fuels.
