AP Summit 2025 held in Korea

"The program kicked off with a visit to our Ulsan office, a boat tour of the port of Ulsan, and onboard visits to Bow Trident and Bow Optima. Thanks to Captain Miller, Captain Eirik, and their crews for their hospitality. Both ships were well maintained, with Bow Optima prepared for WASP with the new foundations for suction sails. The team also visited and toured OTK, including the new expansion site, which was highly interesting.

This year's summit focused on preparing for the upcoming fleet growth, specifically by identifying new trade routes in and out of Asia as well as securing additional contracts along existing lanes. The team identified multiple strategic opportunities for expansion, including entering new trades and increasing contract coverage within existing trades. We have made a comprehensive business plan for 2026. Now it is time to execute the plan.

Additional business meetings took place in Seoul, Taiwan, Singapore, and Tokyo before and after the summit. 

In Seoul, a major highlight was Bjørn Hammer presenting a ship model of the Bow Orion to representatives from SK Enmove—a gesture symbolizing ongoing strategic collaboration and future business prospects between the companies.”
