Norden is looking to continue the growth of its asset-light dry cargo operating business with data set to play in increasingly important role in its development.

Copenhagen-listed Norden split its dry operating business into a sperate division last year and has been reporting individual results for the Dry Operator arm since the third quarter of last year.

Adjusted earnings since the middle of last year have come in at $15m, according to information in the latest edition of the company's magazine, which will be published tomorrow.
