This week, it was time for the annual Almedalen Week in Sweden, a democratic event on the island of Gotland. The Swedish Club was there and participated in the area Maritim Mötesplats, arranged by Maritimt Forum.

Our colleagues Torbjörn Claesson, Corporate Lawyer, and Daniel Kilgren, Senior Underwriter, entered the stage, joined by Christopher Hesselbrandt from the Swedish War Insurance Board. Together, they shed some light on how the shipping transport pattern has changed due to geopolitical development. We always monitor this topic and development closely so we were glad to be able to share our findings.

Together with Svenska Skeppshypotek, we arranged a cocktail reception on Wednesday, June 26. We were happy to have the Minister for Infrastructure, Andreas Carlson, give the opening speech and would like to extend our gratitude to him for taking the time to attend. He talked about the importance of a well-functioning shipping industry in Sweden and abroad.

Except for a week full of interesting meetings, discussions, and networking about shipping, we also invited our guests to relax and have some fun by our branded pool, meaning taking the RC Boats out on a cruise.

A great event, that we will be sure to join next year!
