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.

- Jostein Opsahl, Global Operations and Service Manager, VesselMan

Based on the functionality we have seen so far in VesselMan, we truly believe we are moving in the right direction by standardizing our internal processes as well as focusing on working more efficiently with our technical projects.

VesselMan CEO, Glenn Edvardsen, said "This is the best thing about what we do. So much of the talk around shipping innovation is focused on a few small geographies - but shipping is a global business and companies all over the work are looking for the same cost-effective ways of increasing margins though efficiency and productivity. UME is our kind of partner, they are a highly proactive and dynamic company."
