Guest: Andreas Krossøy
Maritime Trainee, KCC + Various Klaveness business units

"Steak and Karaoke Nights"

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 different departments at Klaveness, together with theoretical knowledge gained through an academic program.

Andreas Krossøy joins us as part of the Klaveness class of 2022-23 and recently completed a stint sailing with the CLEANBU MV Bass, before returning onshore to work with KCC on projects and business development.

In this episode, we ask 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.

Discussion points include:

• The onshore projects Krossøy is working on for KCC and KSM

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

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

• Breaking the stereotypes that shipping is an old-fashioned and stuffy business

• Krossøy’s plans for the future

About Krossøy: Joined Torvald Klaveness as a Maritime Trainee during the fall of 2022 as a recent graduate of MSc Shipping, Trade & Finance at Bayes (formerly Cass) Business School in London. Also holds a BSc Economics and Business Administration from the Norwegian School of Economics.
