HISTORY of the SeaFocus
Our modern, Nordic way of life would not be possible without trade. And trade, in our part of the world, could not take place without shipping. Shipping is not an unavoidable cost but rather a central element in the supply chain, its reliability and quality. While the supply chain is a complex system, comprising of a large number of parties, shipping has a big impact on the central element of customer service, i.e., delivery reliability.
