Torstein Hagen, for the more mature TradeWinds reader, is famous for his long but ultimately unsuccessful fight to take over Dutch container line Royal Nedlloyd in the early 1990s. At the time, he was chairman of investment company Det Norske Oljeselskap (DNO).
“I came very close but not close enough and I lost everything. Everything,” he told TradeWinds during an interview onboard the 47,800-gt cruiseship Viking Star (built 2015).
