The Clipper Group is part of the<br />

<strong>No</strong>rdic Ferry Service, which has the contract<br />

for the Hou–Sælvig service as from<br />

October 2008. The latest power-shopping<br />

(as the employees call it when the owner<br />

Torben Gulner-Jensen has been to China to<br />

sign up for another ten handy-size bulk carriers,<br />

as he did a couple of weeks ago) was a<br />

bunch of at least ten new handy-size bulk<br />

dane Shipping has built up a business as<br />

the ISM manager for smaller owners, but<br />

the business is drying out as the owners sell<br />

off the tonnage. This particular business<br />

has also given the company a trial on its<br />

hands as the CEO, Niels Højlund, has<br />

been taken to court as responsible for the<br />

Karen Danielsen’s collision with the Great<br />

Belt bridge. <strong>No</strong>rdane Shipping was the<br />

ISM responsible for the ship when the<br />

accident occurred.<br />

C. J. Helt of Svendborg has sold off the<br />

Othonia, the last Husum-built coaster<br />

under Danish flag, but rather unusually<br />

replaced it with a more modern coaster,<br />

incidentally built in Husum as well.<br />

New tug company<br />

In the small segment with tugs, two people<br />

have started their own business, Dan Tug<br />

A/S, by purchasing two tugs from Jens<br />

Alfastsen in Horsens. He sold the Susanne<br />

A, a 40 tons bollard pull tug and the small<br />

tug Sanne A, built in 1908, with five tons<br />

bollard pull. The small tug is often used in<br />

salvage operations for pleasure crafts and<br />

repair work on fixed links over waters.<br />
