Thomas Wilhelmsen has his sights set on growth and greater use of technology.
Wilhelmsen, the chief executive of Oslo-listed Wilh Wilhelmsen Holding, says the company had an "intense year" in 2016 which set it up for expansion.
Writing in the WW annual report, he said the sale of the safety portfolio to Survitec Group and Callenberg Technology Group to Trident Maritime Systems, coupled with the stock listing of Treasure ASA were all part of the same plan.
