In this episode, we ask our 18-month Maritime Trainee, Andreas Krossøy, to take us on a journey of his 5-week stint sailing aboard MV Bass from Europe to South America and to tell us a little more about his work onshore with KCC’s ongoing energy efficiency initiatives.

Host: Engebret Dahm, CEO

Guest: Andreas Krossøy, Maritime Trainee KCC & Klaveness business units

Background: Through the Klaveness Group, KCC is a regular participant in the Norwegian Shipowners Association’s Management Trainee program. This 18-month initiative combines the practical experience of working at different departments at Klaveness, together with theoretical knowledge gained through an academic program.

Discussion points include:

  • The onshore projects Krossøy has been working on for KCC and KSM

  • A journey aboard MV Bass with all its highs and surprises

  • Why the experience at sea is a valuable experience for an onshore career in shipping

  • Breaking the stereotype of shipping being an olf-fashioned and stuffy business

  • Krossøy’s plans for the future
