Sverre Tidemand has called in ABG Sundal Collier to lead a strategic review of his position as the leading shareholder in Oslo-listed Belships.

Tidemand, whose family have been in control of Belships since it went public in 1937, has asked the bank to evaluate strategic alternatives.

Ulrich Muller, chief executive of Belships, declined to elaborate in the matter when contacted by TradeWinds.
