Skuld members from around the world gathered in Oslo to mix business and pleasure at the club’s annual general meeting.

Alexey Ostapenko of Sovcomflot was elected to the board, replacing Sergey Popravko of Unicom, the Russian shipowner's Cyprus-based shipmanagement outfit.

It was also time for former Skuld chief executive Douglas Jacobsohn to end a three-year term on the board to concentrate on his English vineyard.
