FORNI: OUR BEST WISHES TO ESPEN R. JACOBSEN

Stefano Forni, founder and managing director of Hs.Marine, speaks about the new internal structure of North Sea Maritime. «Espen R. Jacobsen has been appointed as the new CEO of North Sea Maritime and Simen Sletten, founder and former CEO, will continue as sales manager and chairman of the board – explains Forni -. Our best wishes to Espen and Simen with the certainty that the collaboration between our companies will continue in an increasingly profitable way».
«In recent years – explains North Sea Maritime – our company has established itself as a strong contender in the Norwegian marine crane market as a dealer for HS Marine. To further strengthen and develop the company for the future, Espen R. Jacobsen has been appointed as the new CEO».
Espen has extensive experience in the crane industry, with nearly 20 years in roles ranging from crane technician to CEO of KIS Gruppen. For the past six years, he has worked as a sales engineer at Bergen Hydraulic AS and possesses exceptional technical competence and high insight into the industry that ensure great development for North Sea Maritime. He will also take an ownership stake in the company.
«HS Marine – explains Jacobsen – is a well-established name both in Norway and internationally and has recently seen a significant increase in market share in Norway. Many shipowners and shipbuilders have recognized the value of strong cranes designed specifically for marine use from the start. The cranes are built to last, with a focus on details rarely found elsewhere. This results in longer lifespan, high uptime, and significantly reduced maintenance costs, allowing shipowners to focus on what they do best. The production, which takes place in northern Italy, aligns with the high quality of the cranes. We are excited to continue showcasing both the products and the production to new and existing customers».
