After planning delays caused by the pandemic, our fl agship offi ce at Apple Heritage, Mumbai, has undergone a muchneeded facelift and reopened to begin a new chapter.

To mark the event, our colleagues in India hosted an offi cial opening party and invited dignitaries, partners, suppliers, and seafarers to visit the offi ce. Our senior management team and guests received a warm Indian welcome. In addition, they participated in a lamp lighting ceremony, an auspicious tradition in India to inaugurate a new beginning of an offi ce. During the party, they held a service award ceremony to honour our long-serving employees’ contributions. They thanked everyone who came and welcome other Wilhelmsen Ship Management colleagues to visit them when in town. Wilhelmsen Ship Management began operations in India in 1975 from humble beginnings and today employs about 2500 seafarers and 93 colleagues onshore. The reason for our long-term success is our people.
