Norwegian shipping veteran and former owner Andreas Kjell Lund Ugland has died at the age of 93.

In addition to being a major shipowner, he was known for technically innovative solutions and was an active member of both national and international industry associations.

Ugland was born in Grimstad and received his technical education (sivilingenior) at King’s College in Newcastle.

After graduating, the then 26 year old joined Uglands Rederi, a company that his father Johan Milmar Ugland had started in 1930.
