Nearly 1,000 guests, warmly invited by the Norwegian Business Association Singapore in collaboration with the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Singapore and Innovation Norway Singapore, gathered at the Fairmont Ballroom, Raffles City Convention Centre, for the Norwegian Seafood Dinner 2025.

Odfjell was proud to participate, with our Chair Laurence Odfjell and the enthusiastic Singapore team hosting a memorable evening alongside distinguished visitors from Bergen, including CEO Harald Fotland, VP Asia Pacific Thomas M. Lund, VP Middle East Hans Christian Rabben, Finance Manager Henriette K. Bergesen, and Controller Treasury Julia Vonheim. 

Together, we warmly welcomed close to 30 cherished guests from Singapore’s shipping community, including esteemed ship owners, reputable brokers, distinguished banks and financial institutions, respected industry colleagues, and close friends, all enriching the event with lively conversations and valuable exchanges. 

Guests particularly enjoyed our very own specially selected Odfjell wines, paired with exceptional dishes prepared by renowned chefs, as we celebrated Norwegian culinary traditions in Singapore's vibrant setting.  

The night concluded informally at the ANTI:DOTE bar downstairs, where guests continued discussions on business, life, and everything in between.  

Many of our guests expressed appreciation for Odfjell’s management’s accessibility and commitment to understanding market dynamics and addressing both the challenges and opportunities faced by our clients and partners – an important compliment we should carry forward into similar events in the future. 

We look forward to many more similar enriching evenings filled with meaningful connections!

“It was a true honor to welcome 1,000 guests and celebrate with delightful Norwegian seafood. Uniting our community brings us great joy, and we are immensely grateful for your contributions, which made this event a remarkable success,” shares Tone, Winnie, and Trine from the Norwegian Business Association Singapore.
