'Like an Iceberg, the unseen factor is crucial.'

We often focus on factors and facts that are readily visible to us; the tip of the iceberg. However, due to cultural differences or lack of specific market knowledge, we miss the underlying, not immediately visible, factors. Getting to the bottom of these softer, not immediately visible, factors is therefore crucial to having success!

During more than 40 years of maritime experience at home and abroad, I have seen many successes and failures pass by. The "Unseen Factor" always played a prominent role. Through a good and broad network I am helped to avoid these cliffs. After all: the plural of knowledge is knowledge!

The North Sea is rapidly transforming into the green heart of Europe. As oil and gas platforms are phased out, new wind farms, hubs, and energy islands are being established, connecting several countries.
