Shipping let its collective hair down last night as leading players in the industry enjoyed the TradeWinds party on the historic sailing ship Christian Radich. 

Shipowners including Westie Hoegh, Herbjorn Hansson, Leon Patitsas and Age Remoy climbed on board for the event, which has been a fixture on the Nor-Shipping calendar since the early 1990s. 

DHT Holdings co-chief executives Trygve Munthe and Svein Moxnes Harfjeld, Clarksons Platou executives Peter Anker and Erik Helberg and Anette Olsen were among those from the Norwegian market to walk the decks.

Henning Oldendorff, large delegations from National Iranian Tanker Co (NITC) and Oman Shipping, Ridgebury Tankers executive Hew Crooks and Gibsons managing director Nigel Richardson brought an international flavour to the event.
