A Norwegian shipowner has called for ship owners to give something back after making money from the disruption caused by war.

The company has donated a share of its 2022 revenue to the Red Cross to provide humanitarian aid to victims of conflict.
the shipping company is encouraging others in shipping and international trade to do the same.

The funds will be spent on humanitarian aid in Ukraine and its neighbouring countries, and also in Somalia where the situation has been aggravated by the war.

“After many difficult years in shipping, our sector is now profiting from increasing freight prices,” said the company’s spokesman.
