It has been 100 years since the Norwegian Shipbrokers’ Association (NSA) was formed, and 300 guests including Crown Prince Haakon celebrated the occasion at Gamle Logen in downtown Oslo.

NSA director Hans Nicolai Edbo says its members are different, but a common factor is that they offer added value to the customers, which often are shipowners.

The organisation has 113 member companies with around 1,000 active brokers.
