”Contrary to expectations, the dry cargo market in 2014 went from bad to worse. NORDEN launched a number of initiatives and cleared up in old contracts, which affected results for the year significantly. The Tanker Department generated the best operating profit in 6 years. In spite of a continued very difficult dry cargo market, the initiatives, along with a good start in Tankers, will ensure a significant improvement in NORDEN’s results for 2015.”  Interim CEO Klaus Nyborg
