Anne Grete Antonsen, Sailor

"I couldn't have a better workplace! Being at sea is like therapy for me.

Ever since I was little, express boats have been associated with joy, quality time, freedom and excitement. As an adult, I am fortunate to be able to be at sea every day with good colleagues and travelers you bond with.

After completing my secondary education and a safety course, I started working as a restaurant employee on board the ferry MF “Rennesøy” when I was 19 years old. After a few months, I joined the express boat MS “Fjordsol” as a ticket inspector. Then I continued as a light seaman on MS “Fjordrott”. That’s when I realized that this was the job for me. I’ve now worked for Norled on various services for 14 years.

I really appreciate being close to the travelers and having varied work, so the job is perfect for me!”

Jogeir Kårdal, machine manager

"As chief engineer at Norled, I've had a steep learning curve and the opportunity to influence my own learning," says chief engineer Jogeir, who works on the world's first electric ferry.

Jørgen Dyrseth, captain

"I was hired as chief mate in the fall of 2001. For the first six months, I was a temp on various ferries in Rogaland. The first boat I got a permanent position on was MF Finnøy, which was then part of the Finnøy service.
