In the late 1990s, highly complex vessels came under our management, including the Ocean Odyssey and Sea Launch Commander, part of the Sea Launch project, which transformed a former oil rig into a satellite launch platform inthePacific.

By 2003, we managed around 250 vessels and 7,000 seafarers, including unique projects like The World, a private floating residential ship. In 2004, the HQ for Barber Ship Management was relocated to Norway, where we merged into Wilhelmsen Maritime Services the following year

More Than a Colleague: Jan's 50-Year Story

We start our people stories with Jan Eigil Tynaes who beganhiscareerwithusin1975,thesameyearBarberShip ManagementwasestablishedinHongKong Itwasayearof new beginnings not just for Jan, but also for our companyaswegrewtogether

Born into a family of seafarers, Jan’s connection to Wilhelmsen Ship Management runs deep; his father began hiscareerwithus,andhismothersailedalongsidehimasa messgirl.Followinginhisfamily’sfootsteps,Janjoinedthe liner vessel Temeraire in 1975, marking the start of a journey that would span decades Today, Jan is based in Norway,whereheisourSeniorProjectAdvisor

Jan's grandfather was a Captain and shipowner until his ship was taken during the Second World War His father followed in those footsteps, becoming a Captain and

starting his career on a Wilhelmsen vessel Jan's mother, a seafarer, worked as a mess girl and sailed alongside his father

WhenJanwasjusttwoyearsold,hejoinedhisparentsona longervoyagetoEuropeandWestAfrica,markingthestart ofhislifelongconnectiontothesea "Theoceanhasalways felt like home to me - it’s where I took my first steps and whereI’vespentsomeofthemostdefiningmomentsofmy life,"Janrecalls

At just 16, Jan embarked on his first voyage aboard the Temeraire He vividly remembers the ship approaching the Panama Canal in 1976 and his cabin, which lacked air conditioning, prompting many to sleep on the poop deck for relief from the heat. Those early days at sea taught Jan more than just navigation; they instilled a deep sense of humilityandresponsibility

Young and confident, Jan initially believed he was smarter than the rest of the crew That belief was quickly tested when he tried to shortcut a maintenance task by painting over dirt The Bosun noticed and gave him a firm but fair lesson. Jan spent hours scraping off the mess and redoing the job properly "From that moment, I carried with me the values of doing my best, staying honest, asking for help whenneeded,andalwaysremaininghumble",advisedJan

After nearly two decades at sea, Jan earned his captain’s stripes in 1995, taking command of the Tapiola In a meaningful twist of fate, the Master he relieved had once sailedwithJan’sfatheraboardtheTampa hisfather’sfirst Wilhelmsenvessel

Among Jan’s most treasured possessions is a painting he received for his 50th birthday. It beautifully captures the vessels that shaped his journey: the Temeraire, where it all began,andthe Tapiola,hisfirstcommand "EverytimeIlook at that painting, I’m reminded of where I started and the peoplewhohelpedmegetthere-it’smorethanagift;it’sa tributetoalifetimeatsea,"Janreflects

It became one of the most meaningful moments of his career.Ingratitude,thevessel’sownerlatersentaheartfelt letter along with a Japanese porcelain doll, a gesture Jan deeply cherishes To this day, he keeps the doll as a reminder of the human connections and quiet acts of kindnessthatdefinealifeatsea.

Jan transitioned from life at sea to a shore-based career in January 2000, starting as a Vessel Planner In March 2013, he was appointed General Manager at Wilhelmsen Ship Management Singapore, where he oversaw the technical operations of a fleet of bulk and container vessels, managed customer relationships, and staffing across all positions.

An

Era of Diversity and Growth with Asian

Seafarers

In the mid-1970s, the global maritime industry underwent a quiet yet significant transformation. At a time when seafaring was still largely unfamiliar outside the European continent,WilhelmsenShipManagement(thenoperatingas Barber Ship Management) took early steps to bring diversity to our seafaring talent. Among those at the forefrontofthisshiftwasAmarjitVijan

To mark our 50th anniversary, General Manager of Wilhelmsen Ship Management Ltd. in the USA, Sundeep Dhaliwal, and Global Head of Marine Personnel, Kunal Katyal, visited Vijan at his home in Delhi, where he now residesafterretirement

VijanwasamongthefirsttobringIndianofficersandratings into our crewing model, laying the foundation for a broader shift toward Asian talent in the maritime sector. “Our task was to convince people that Indian crew could deliver reliable and professional seamanship in the early days Not onlydidwematchtheseexpectations,butwealsobuiltour reputation for excellence across the industry,” Vijan reflected

The decision to commence operations in Hong Kong in 1975markedasignificantstepforward.Vijanwasentrusted to lead the operations as General Manager of Barber Ship Management in Hong Kong and eventually became ManagingDirectorfrom1984to1995

Under his leadership, Indian officers and crew steadily became trusted members of our global seafarer pool His focus on training, quality, and discipline helped raise the profile of Indian seafarers and demonstrated high operationalstandards.

“OurIndianseafarersbroughtdiversitytoourcrewpooland supported our Norwegian team very well,” said Vijan “That opened the door for seafarers across Asia, including the Philippines, Korea, and beyond, who continue to support ourteamtoday"

In doing so, we brought along the same cultural transformation to Asia that Wilhelmsen Ship Management had traditionally been known for that we valued stability, care,andlong-termrelationships

Just like Jan Tynaes and his parents, who were seafarers, we became well-known among many Asian seafaring families, where it was a generational calling Fathers recommended sons and nephews. Aunts and uncles vouched for the company’s integrity and sense of responsibility

Dhaliwal who also came from a generational calling shared, “When I was young, I heard of Wilhelmsen’s reputation through my uncle, which subsequently inspired me to become a seafarer with the company Our reputation was, andstillis,viewedasonethatlooksafteritspeople.”

Sailing Through the Decades with us

Captain Jaideep Gode began his maritime journey in 1982, joining Wilhelmsen Ship Management then known as Barber Ship Management as a cadet at just 17 years old His first assignment was aboard the Torrens, marking the startofacareeroverfourdecades.

“I still remember stepping onto the Torrens for the first time,” Jaideep recalls “It was a mix of nerves, excitement, and determination. I had no idea then that this ship would bookendmyjourney”AsJaideepgrewwithinthecompany, he witnessed its transformation, from a small fleet to over 450 vessels and 13,000 seafarers today As we celebrate our 50th anniversary this year, Jaideep marks a personal milestone by rejoining the Torrens, the very vessel where hisjourneybegan

50 is such a big landmark. When you look back at the humble beginnings starting off with just six or seven vessels it’s incredible to see how far the company has come The focus on quality management has always been the key to our success That’s something I’m incredibly proud of Jaideep Gode

Comingfromafamilysteepedinmaritimetradition,Jaideep is the sixth or seventh captain in his lineage This early exposure made his decision to pursue a career at sea almost inevitable. “We come from a family of seafarers,” he shares “Growing up, stories from my father and uncles aboutlifeonboardfascinatedme Itwasneveraquestionof if,asIalwaysknewI’dfollowintheirfootsteps”

Over the years, he gained experience on a variety of vessels, including oil tankers, passenger ships, refrigerated ships, and container vessels Rising through the ranks to captain, Jaideep played a key role in managing Wallenius Wilhelmsen vessels like Tongala and Thermopylae, the first Hero-class ship His career eventually led him to car carriers, where he has spent the past 20 years navigating complexoperationswithskillandleadership.

Jaideep emphasizes the mutual respect and teamwork among colleagues as defining aspects of his time at Wilhelmsen bonds that remained strong even as the nature of sea tenures evolved from year-long assignments to shorter rotations. Through these changes, he has continued to value work-life balance, finding joy onshore in reading historical novels, exploring economic trends, and spendingtimeonthegolfcoursewithfriends.

One of our proudest milestones in Wilhelmsen Ship Management’s 50th anniversary is the growing presence of female seafarers, a reflection of the progress we continue to make in building an inclusive future.

Voices from our Female Seafarers

“Having four stripes on my shoulder means not only great responsibility but also the duty to serve and support my crew” according to Capt Rosemelyn De Villa Boongaling, whomadehistoryasthefirstwomantotakecommandofa Wilhelmsen Ahrenkiel vessel. Her journey from the Philippines to captaining the AS Patria is a testament to resilience and dedication in a traditionally male-dominated industry Reflecting on her leadership, Rosemelyn shares that her approach goes beyond navigation, but also about buildingcommunityandcohesiononboard

Following Rosemelyn’s pioneering path, Capt Lee Eun Ran became the first Korean woman to command a vessel within our company’s fleet, embodying the growing opportunitiesforwomenseafarersinAsiaandbeyond Lee remarks, “I hope my achievement can inspire more female seafarers to take a bold step and consider seafaring as a career” Her journey from cadet to captain reflects the company’s commitment to nurturing talent through

Our Maritime Trainees, Our Future Leaders

Nurturing the younger generation is essential for a company’s longevity Our Maritime Executive Trainee Program is a strong testament to our continued commitmenttobuildingfuturemaritimeleaders Structured tooffercomprehensiveexposureacrosscoretechnicaland operational functions, the program enables selected candidates to understand how various departments across the organization contribute to the successful operation of vessels.

“The trainee program is an investment in people and continuity,” said Jason Wong, Vice President, Culture & OD atWilhelmsenShipManagement.“Itprovidesapathwayfor young maritime professionals to grow into leadership roles withpractical,cross-regionalexperiencefromdayone”

In 2024, Norwegian graduates Eirik Skorg and Sigurd Stemsrud were selected to participate in the program Upon graduation in June, they began their journey in August, starting at the company’s head office in Lysaker, Norway.Theywereembeddedindifferentvesselsegments: EirikintheOffshoreandHeavy-LiftgroupandSigurdinthe Cruise division With limited exposure to these segments, bothtraineeswereintroducedearlytooperationalplanning anddailycoordinationtasks.

“It was a steep start, but I enjoyed being thrown into something completely new,” said Eirik “You pick things up quicklywhenyou'regivenrealresponsibilities.”

From Sea to Finish Line, Rajdeep Amonkar’s Ironman Triumph

Our seafarers are more than just experts of the oceans; they are individuals who inspire through their extraordinary achievements beyond their professional lives. One such story is that of Rajdeep Amonkar, a 40-year-old Chief Engineer from Goa, India, who has conquered not one but two Full Ironman triathlons.

Rajdeep’s triumph at the Ironman Copenhagen saw him completethegruellingevent a38kmswim,180kmbike ride, and 42.2 km run in an impressive 12 hours and 15 minutes Reflecting on his achievement, Rajdeep shared that it’s not about being professional or winning but about enjoying the process and personal satisfaction “I do this justforfunandasapassion.Thesenseofaccomplishment when you cross that finish line makes all the hard work worthwhile”

Rajdeep at the Ironman Copenhagen (L) and aboard a ship (R)

1) What inspired you to take on your first Ironman challenge?

My first experience was with an Olympic-distance triathlon in 2018 I enjoyed it, and the fact that I managed to finish without any preparation motivated me to attempt a Half Distance Ironman in 2019 That’s when my passion for this sport took off. It’s the sheer challenge of mastering three different disciplines, the preparation it requires, and the pre- and post-race excitement that drives me to the start lineofthenextrace.It’sacombinationofpushingpersonal limits, testing endurance, and achieving something that takesmuchdiscipline

2) What lessons have you learned from completing two Full Ironman races?

TherearesomanylifelessonsI’vegainedfromtheseraces

One of the biggest is the importance of consistency You have to show up, even on the days you don’t feel like it Motivationcanfluctuate,butdisciplineandroutinewillcarry youthrough

Mental resilience is equally important The marathon leg of an Ironman is particularly challenging you’re dealing with fatigue, pain, and the mental challenge of continuing to pushyourselfwhenyourbodyistellingyoutostop

I’ve also learned to handle unpredictability, such as sudden weather changes or mechanical issues that arise during a race Learning to adapt, stay calm, and keep going is essential. But most importantly, I’ve learned to enjoy the journey It’s not just about the finish line it’s about appreciatingtheprocessandeverythingthatcomeswithit

3) Are there any skills or qualities from your life as a seafarer that help you in triathlons?

Definitely Life at sea builds endurance and mental toughness, which are crucial in triathlons. Being on a ship forextendedperiodsteachesyouhowtohandlestressand fatigue, which translates well to endurance sports Discipline and routine are also key On a ship, we follow structured routines, and that same discipline helps in training for an Ironman You can’t succeed by doing things randomly;it’saboutconsistencyovertime

Thomas Wilhelmsen tells of milestones as ship management arm turns 50

This article first appeared on Tradewinds on 5 June 2025

Thomas Wilhelmsen had an early start on the Monday morningofNor-Shippingweekthisyear

The event marked a mixture of business and pleasure as Wilhelmsen joined clients and employees to mark the goldenanniversaryofWilhelmsenShipManagement

“I think there are several milestones that are being met when you have a 50th anniversary,” Wilhelmsen told TradeWinds at Aker Brygge, where celebrations continued throughtheweekwiththecompanyhostingvariousevents

“One, of course, is simply the achievement of having a business running for 50 years You know, the average age foracompanyis15yearsintermsoflifespan

“So, for ship management, we have more than three times that Andforthegroup,morethan10timestheaverage We arelong-termplayers,soIthinkit’satestimonytothat”

Wilhelmsen Ship Management is today part of Oslo-listed Wilh Wilhelmsen, where the 50-year-old Norwegian is chief executive

The company is one of the 10 largest third-party ship managersintheworld,withabout450shipsonitsbooks,if fulltechnicalandcrewmanagementservicesareincluded

Thomas Wilhelmsen tells TradeWinds about the group’s third-party management business as it celebrates its golden anniversary

Wilhelmsen explained “hardcore shipping knowledge” with the business area helped make it an important part of the WilhelmsenGroupfromacompetenceperspective

“We cover within ship management more or less all the asset classes of shipping, giving us the competence and know-how to run bulkers, tankers, container vessels or what-have-you,”hesaid

“This is important, of course, being able to deliver that towards our clients, but also for us as a group to know that wehavethecompetencetoplaywithinallareas”

This is noteworthy given Wilhelmsen has moved in and out of various asset classes over time and is likely to do so in thefuture,headded

Wilhelmsen Ship Management has been through various guisessinceitwasbornoutofthelinerserviceBarberBlue SeasinHongKongin1975

By the 1980s, Barber Blue Sea’s fleet was shrinking, creating spare capacity, and the company seized the opportunity to use the low-cost platform to enter the thirdpartybusiness,Wilhelmsenrecalled.

“Especially since the mid-80s, we had a strong focus on building this as a core part of the business offering for the WilhelmsenGroup,”hesaid.

The story included an entry into tankers and the subsequent sale of International Tankers Management duringthenoughties.

“Personally, I’m not sure if that was the right decision because tankers are a very big part of the third-party ship managementmarket,”Wilhelmsenreflectedthisweek.

“But there were different reasons Back then, I was not part of the decision But we had sold our last tankers, and there wasthisOPA90riskandafewotherbitsandpieces.”

He continued: “We maintained the focus on all other asset classes And then a couple of years ago, we decided we should dip our feet back into the tanker side. We assumed the risks of probably being less than what the decisionmakers feared back in 2009 So now, we cover all areas, includingtankers”

Wilhelmsen said the ship management business had been steadywithoutmuchgrowthforseveralyears “Acoupleof years ago, we said ‘we need to beef this up a little bit’,” he explained

This sparked a partnership with MPC Capital, and in December 2023, the takeover of Zeaborn Ship Management Today, that business trades as Wilhelmsen AhrenkielShipManagementandBarberShipManagement.

“Nowwehaveamuchbiggerscalethanwhatwehadseven or eight years ago,” Wilhelmsen said “We have 310-ish ships,450undersomemanagementifweincludethecrew, 13,000seafarersapproximately”

Wilhelmsen added: “It’s a truly global business with, I would say,asteadyperformance.”

Further change came in late 2024 when long-term chief executive Carl Schou announced his retirement Chief operating officer Haakon Lenz formally took over the top jobatthestartofthisyear

“For me personally, I think it’s always nice when we’re able to recruit internally, and we’ve been able to do that with Haakon,”Wilhelsensaid

“So,there’snobigchangeinthestrategyasaresult Wewill continue to move along and, of course, try to grow the business both organically, but also through acquisitions if therightopportunitiescomealong”

When Schou revealed his retirement, in an interview with TradeWinds, he stressed the importance of innovation It is athemeequallyimportantforWilhelmsen

“You need to be willing to adapt, change, try new things, even if it’s only to be an attractive employer,” Wilhelmsen toldTradeWinds

“If you’re going to deliver on the hardcore services, in the longterm,youneedtolookatefficiencymeasuresandask howyoucanpushthoseboundariesonanongoingbasis?”

Wilhelmsen said he was not sure the company had the perfect recipe for innovation However, to succeed with innovation, it needs to be ingrained in the culture of the business,withattentiononwhichprogrammesareinitiated, staff motivation and how to handle situations if something goeswrong,hesaid

“We’re trying to find the balance of motivating people to pushtheboundaries,andwehaveafewprojectswhichare a little bit more, say, boundary-pushing and a little bit more innovative,”Wilhelmsensaid

“At the same time, of course, we are a commercial operation, so we’re not doing this for fun We are doing it because we believe in it, and we believe that we will eventually have a better product, and that product is built upofactuallywhatwearedeliveringtoourclients.”

While the ship management business is today housed within Wilh Wilhelmsen, the group is open to different structures if the present set-up is seen to be hindering growth

“There might be an opportunity to, as you say, to list it or find other partners, but there has to be a reason for it,” Wilhelmsensaid

“Atthispoint,wefeelthatwehavethepeople,thecapacity, both financially and from a competence perspective, to continue to develop this company under the structure as wehaveittoday”

Ship operators should proactively take steps now to prepare for the implementation of the IMO Net-Zero Framework Keyactionsinclude:

Begin by defining your vessel’s attained GHG Fuel Intensity (GFI) and projection

To accurately assess your vessel's attained GHG fuel intensity, it's essential to evaluate the accessibility and reliability of your data, especially when adopting new fuels These alternative fuels often bring added complexity, making it more challenging to form a clear and reliable picture of performance This is why continuous quality checks and timely evaluations are critical Having accurate, verified data not only supports prompt corrective actions but also ensures alignment with your compliance objectives

One effective approach is to implement a centralized platform that consolidates all relevant data points An integrated system provides a thorough analysis of current fuel performance and facilitates future projections of your vessel's compliance status over the coming years, consideringvariousscenariosandvariables

Having seasoned subject-matter experts on your side minimizesyourexposuretonon-compliancerisksandhelps unlock opportunities to optimize vessel efficiency. In a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape, expert guidance makes all the difference between reacting and staying ahead

Your compliance strategy should address alignment synergiesbetweeninternationalandregionalregulations

Engineering LNG success: FSRU management journey

This article first appeared

Floating storage and regasification units (FSRUs) represent a dynamic solution for LNG import projects. Wilhelmsen Ship Management FSRU manager Hanseok (Hans) Kim offers a wealth of insights into the complexities of convertingandmanagingthesespecializedassets

With a background rooted in LNG carrier newbuilding, Mr Kim shares his journey, shedding light on the rigorous search for suitable workshops, technological enablers, and strategiesforovercomingoperationalchallenges.

Mr Kim began his maritime career captivated by engineeringandtheglobalnatureofseafaring Yearsatsea honedhisadaptabilityandproblem-solvingskills,preparing himforhistransitionashoretomanageLNGprojects

“Workingatseataughtmecriticallessonsinteamworkand resilience,invaluableinmycurrentrole,”heexplained.

His subsequent work on LNG carrier construction provided a solid technical foundation for overseeing FSRUs. In his current role, Mr Kim oversees the day-to-day operations of FSRUs His responsibilities range from maintaining safety andregulatorycompliancetofinancialoversight

“I work closely with shipboard management and handle budgets,procurementandprojectplanning,”heelaborated A key aspect of his job involves due diligence and preparation for classification surveys a task requiring meticulous coordination among stakeholders One challenge Mr Kim highlighted was identifying a workshop meeting the stringent criteria required for LNG booster pump maintenance. The search revealed many essential factors, including workshop height, segregation of ferrous andnon-ferrousmaterials,andadvancedcranesystems

“We needed a workshop with at least a 10-m crane height and the capacity for precise balancing and machining,” he said These specifications ensured the pumps, critical for LNG operations, could be maintained without risk of damageorinefficiency.

After evaluating options, a facility near an FSRU terminal in Turkeyemergedasideal,balancingproximitywithtechnical capability

“Shipping the pump 500km to a distant shipyard was logistically and financially unfeasible,” Mr Kim noted. The workshop met technical requirements and maintained a controlledenvironmentsuitableforcryogenicequipment

Technology plays an integral role in streamlining FSRU operations Mr Kim highlighted the contributions of a planned maintenance system (PMS) that simplifies spare parts procurement, compliance tracking, and operational planning.

“ThePMSmoduleshelpusorganizesparepartsuppliesand ensure timely servicing,” he explained The system’s analytics capabilities enable data-driven decisions, particularly for lifecycle management and budget forecasting Forinstance,duringpumpmaintenance,PMS’s inventory tracking facilitated the timely availability of replacementparts,minimizingdowntime.

The operational pressures of FSRU management extend beyond technicalities Mr Kim discussed the importance of stakeholder alignment, particularly during high-stakes projects such as special surveys “Open communication is crucial to harmonizing the expectations of charterers, terminals,andclassificationsocieties,”heemphasized

Addressing competing priorities requires foresight and adaptingtoplansinrealtime

Mr Kim’s experience also underscores the value of innovative solutions tailored to specific conditions A pneumatic solution for barrier tightening tests proved invaluable when an FSRU could not achieve a gas-free state. “This solution allowed us to meet operational criteria withoutcompromisingsafety,”heshared

Looking ahead, Mr Kim believes the future of FSRU operations will lean heavily on technological evolution and sustainability SystemssuchasPMSarepoisedtointegrate emerging technologies, including IoT and AI, enhancing predictivemaintenanceandoperationalefficiency.

As Mr Kim reflected, “The industry’s growth depends on embracing innovation while ensuring robust compliance frameworks.”

Maritime Maverick Champions Celebrate Their Win in Norway

What did our Maritime Maverick Champions do when they were in Norway? Tang Chong Keat (CK) from Malaysia and Kim Hyun-Woo (Kim) from Korea, winners of our Maritime MaverickTournament,sharetheirexperienceinOsloduring Nor-ShippingWeek.

Their journey began with a warm welcome at our iconic Wilhelmsen office in Lysaker, where they were introduced tocolleaguesbasedinNorwayandhadaguidedtourofthe Wilhelmsen Group headquarters. It was great to finally put faces to names and meet them in person, rather than virtually. They also visited the museum section in the office that traces the company’s journey through the years, offeringaglimpseintoitsrichheritage.

Nor-Shipping Week is also a week of parties! Our winners were invited to many parties and were part of the festive buzz. At our anniversary dinner and party at Wilhelmsen Hub, CK, and Kim joined industry leaders and colleagues to mark 50 years of ship management. From heartfelt speeches to a touch of magic and live music, it was a night to remember. They, too, joined the Wilhelmsen summer party under the summer skies, and the week was filled with warmconversationsandlaughter.

The adventure continued with a visit to Massterly's autonomousshipcontrolcenterbasedinHorten.Massterly is a joint venture between Wilhelmsen and Kongsberg, the world’s first company established for the management and operationofremotelycontrolledandautonomousvessels.

TheChiefOperatingOfficerofMassterly,RogerHolm,gave a facility tour of the autonomous ship control center and a tour onboard one of the ASKO autonomous vessels, which wasquietlychargingatthedock.

On the bridge, we were struck by how different the surroundings looked compared to those of conventional ships. The usual array of buttons and controls was noticeably absent, replaced by sleek, minimal interfaces that reflect the vessel’s advanced automation. Instead of a traditional engine room, they found themselves in a hightech space lined with battery compartments, which deliveredpowerequivalenttothatof20Teslavehicles.

The duo also took the time to visit the Nor-Shipping exhibition—themostsignificantmaritimeeventoftheyear. At the Wilhelmsen stand, they took on our LEGO challenge, putting their fast fingers and sharp focus to the test. It was all in good fun, but let’s say their competitive spirit was still verymuchalive!

Both CK and Kim had the privilege of meeting Mr. Thomas Wilhelmsen over lunch at his office, joined by colleagues from other business units. It was a meaningful moment in their Oslo visit—and an honor to connect with him in person.

A warm welcome to CK and Kim at our Lysaker office—where the week of celebration began

(The following activities were at the expense of each winner)

And, of course, what’s a trip to Oslo without a bit of exploring?

CKshared,“IamgladtohavesometimetoexploreNorway, and discovering Sognefjord was truly unforgettable. Along the country’s longest and deepest fjord, its breathtaking scenery felt like something out of a fairytale.” CK rented a car and took a scenic drive along the Fjords, something he highlyrecommendsdoingwheninNorway.

Kim also took the opportunity to explore Oslo during the trip.“Oneofthehighlightswasvisitingafloatingsaunawith viewsoftheOsloOperaHouse,”heshared.
