Forty-one-year-old Harald Solberg will take over as managing director of the Norwegian Shipowners' Association (NSA) from current incumbent Sturla Henriksen at the start of next year.

Solberg today heads up the Royal Secretariat at the Royal House of Norway but was deputy managing director of the NSA prior to taking up that position in July 2016.

He says he is looking forward to addressing the exciting challenges his new role will involve.
