Privately-owned Norwegian bulker company Arriva Shipping generated a record result in 2020, despite the operational upheavals caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The company reported a pre-tax profit of NOK14m ($1.7m) compared to NOK5m in 2019.

The family owned company has a fleet of six self-unloading dry bulk vessels ranging from 3,700 dwt to 6,400 dwt and has a further five to 10 vessels on charter at any one time.
