Christian Havrehed
Mr. Havrehed is an Explorer, Sinologist, Researcher, and UN Sustainable Development Goals advocate. He is Denmark’s first ocean rower. In 2001 he rowed across the Atlantic Ocean with Chinese National Sun Haibin. He has also Rowed Round Denmark for Clean Seas organising beach clean-ups, and completed 1 of 100 canal rows in support of Zero Carbon, Zero Waste, and Clean Water, which was featured at COP 27. Before becoming an explorer Havrehed worked in the marine industry in China for ten years in various General Manager positions.
With “The Yantu Project” he focuses on promoting Chinese-Western understanding through cross-cultural nautical adventures together with Sun Haibin. He is currently working on a multi-year expedition along the Pacific Rim to investigate whether the Chinese, like the Vikings, visited America pre-Columbus. Moving at 2-3kn in his ocean rowing boat gives Havrehed a unique opportunity to be close to the ocean surface off-shore in far away regions. He looks forward to using the EyeSea app and promoting its use through his expeditions.
