Yesterday Danish Shipping gave our students a warm welcome at their Office to provide, mainly, our first year students an insight to the Shipping Industry.
Anne Windfeldt Trolle welcomed the students with her introduction to Danish Shipping focusing on the previous and future targets of Danish Shipping, as well as their role in the Danish Shipping Industry.
Sofie Bille-Steenberg provided the students with an insight about her previous pathway into the Shipping Industry, as well as her current responsibilities and cases within Danish Shipping connecting the ends of law and shipping.
Lastly, Lars Hasselager presented the students the main mission of Danish Shipping, which is currently attracting the focus of the whole industry, “Towards Zero – the green vision of Danish Shipping”, while pointing out the importance of the supply and demand of green fuels.

Nordic Bulk Carriers A/S
In December 2022, we ended a good semester with a company visit to Nordic Bulk Carriers A/S for a casual afternoon. Carsten Andersen welcomed and introduced our students to the commercial activities of a Danish ship operator with a focus on arctic trades involving their ice-classed ships. Jesper Hjorth followed up and outlined the importance and main tasks of the operations department. We ended the evening with some finger food and engaging conversations.

Chartering Game at Torm
In February 2023, our first-year students started their second semester with a full-day company event at TORM. The day started with a light breakfast before TORMs CEO, Jacob Meldgaard introduced the students to TORM and the challenges they face in the rapidly changing shipping industry. Later, a couple of TORMs shipping interns and trainees including two of our third-year students shared the experience of life as a shipping intern and trainee in TORM. This was followed by an introduction to the work of TORMs charting- and operations-department. After a lunch break with time to engaging conversations with employees of TORM we rounded the day off with TORMs very own chartering game. This was a great opportunity for our students to get the experience of how trade deals are made. There was a great competitive atmosphere in the battle for first place and our students had a lot of fun.
We want to use the opportunity to thank TORM and Veronica Fay Bermann Krivaa for hosting the event and showing interest in our students and studies by sharing interesting knowledge within the shipping industry.
