Lars T. Ugland

Lars T Ugland comes from a well-known shipping family in Norway.  He has worked in deep-sea shipping all his life as an owner, charterer, manager and ship broker.  He has been involved in crude oil tankers, product tankers, bulk carriers, ore carriers, various types of offshore units, supply vessels, tugs, and barges.  He left the UK after 35 years to set up a new company in the Isle of Man.

“I have been more aware of the pollution at sea and on the shorelines after moving to this island some 13 years ago.  Pollution is obviously a global issue and is something that each of us can play a part in resolving.  I have seen the benefits of the local “Beach Buddies” organisation, which regularly gathers groups of volunteers of all ages to clean the beaches around the island.  They are doing a fantastic job and their message has spread worldwide.  We all need to make an effort for cleaner seas and for that reason I support EyeSea and hope our efforts will benefit generations to come”.
