For the Grieg Maritime Group, the global lock-down meant significant obstacles in our usual way of doing business. We have been used to travel around the world to visit ships, attend dry dockings or IHM inspections, and meet teams from our global offices. Overnight, we had to find alternative ways of conducting business.
Last year was a challenging year for our business and the world as a whole. It presented us many challenges that we overcame thanks to our teams’ extraordinary efforts. It showed that robust and resilient foundations coupled with brilliant and talented teams are the best line of defence towards any unexpected black swan event. Our organisation’s handling of the pandemic makes us confident that we can overcome any new challenges in the future. On the basis of this commitment, innovation, and professionalism of our organisation, we are now well set to take advantage of the improving markets in 2021.
The Covid-19 pandemic has had an immense impact on society and individuals, and it’s lasting effects are still impossible to comprehend. But for some, the loss of loved ones, of their job or home, will forever mark this difficult period. These are unprecedented times, and we shall find a path through them – one step at a time.
