We are pleased to announce our newest team member, Alexander Wallem Berge. Alexander has been working at Wilson for around 3,5 years, where he started as an operator and oversaw 8 vessels on a daily basis. He has established a good understanding on how to plan and optimize the voyages of the vessels and to understand the work of the seafarers. Alexander then moved over to the scheduling/ planning department, where his team of 3 was responsible for scheduling and optimizing the operation of about 115 vessels. The job required a precise knowledge of the vessel’s characteristics and the properties of the cargoes. They were also responsible for finding creative solutions if things did not go according to plan. ​ Alexander had daily contact with external contractors, customers and brokers, as well with the internal technical department. We believe this is a valuable experience for his position at VesselMan and that Alexander will bring great knowledge and understanding of how technical departments work, and what needs and requirements contractors and customers have. Alexander also has a great customer-centric approach which will be valuable for our clients.

I started to study economics to bridge my technical education and and my commercial interest. This has been a goal for me ever since I chose to specialize in Marine System Design at NTNU. Especially, the technical development of shipping has always fascinated me.

We are very excited about getting Alexander on board with us! He has a very customer-centric focus which is essential based on the growth we have had the past year. Alexander will be part of our Customer Success team, and will be working close with our customers on trial projects, as well as our existing clients. We believe he will have a great impact to the team and to our clients!

We are excited to announce that we have signed a trial period with F. Laeisz, a family-owned group of companies which has its main interests in shipping, trade and insurance. Diversification has been vital throughout the company’s long history and openess towards new developments has always been key. Founded in 1824 in Hamburg, F.Laeisz has ever since been a vital part of the Hamburg ship owning scene and today is one of the leading shipping companies in Germany.

We have been testing out a few different project management solutions for our dry-dockings, and look forward to testing VesselMan. We have seen features in VesselMan that have been missing in previous tools we have tested, and we will be testing the solution on two projects coming up in the near future.

​Hamdok has over five decades of maritime experiences with extensive portfolios in building and maintenance of various vessels for numerous purposes. Our company utilizes dry docking facilities at various locations to cater to all dry docking/repair/maintenance requests of all ships and floating structures. To move our business towards digitalization, we have chosen VesselMan which provides a cloud-based Solution as a Service (Solaas) to improve our projects’ planning and productivity. Even though we are operating shipyards, we believe that the solution will enable us to have in-depth understanding of our work processes and a proper data management for future improvements.

We are very glad to announce that we are expanding the team in Norway. Marie Lothe started in VesselMan April 12th as our new Customer Success Manager. Marie has background from Avance Gas and TechnipFMC, and will benefit the team with her operational experience and fresh bright eyes. She will have an important role when it comes to improve how our existing clients are using VesselMan today, as well as amplifying how ship owners and ship managements work more efficient and get better control when it comes to time demanding tasks, time spent on project management and of course, cost control. Besides being a smart, "techy" naval architect, she likes to sail, ski and hike in the beautiful mountains of Norway - so we can say she is a typical Norwegian.

We are very happy that Marie decided to join the VesselMan family. Her previous experience and skill set will play a key role in further enhancing our service offering. I am very excited to see our team growing and that we are in a position to acquire young and talented people like Marie.
