This proved to be quite a week for us at Måsøval. After sharing the Q2 results at Britannia Hotel, christening our new feed barge at Skansen, and meeting industry colleagues at Aqua Nor, we were yesterday honored with the Ocean Company of the Year 2025 award by the Havfruenettverket network.
Havfruenettverket [external link] gathers more than 600 women in the marine and maritime sector. Through the Havfruetreffet event, organized in parallel with Aqua Nor, they promote diversity, inspiration, and positive role models in an industry that is still male-dominated.
