Rolf Thore Roppestad, CEO of Gard said " We were delighted to welcome Monica and her team today. Marine insurance is a vital part of the global economy and, by helping shipowners protect their assets and their income, we help to keep world trade afloat.
"Norway has always been a world leader in marine insurance, and businesses such as ours make a significant contribution to the local and national economy. In a world which is becoming increasingly regulated, and where we are seeing new challenges coming from Europe and beyond, we want to work closely with the government to ensure that we can compete as effectively as possible.
