The International Propeller Club of Norway is pleased to announce a new partnership with Höegh Autoliners, strengthening the Club’s growing engagement with leading companies across the Norwegian and international maritime community.
The partnership was marked during the opening reception of New York High-Level Week and New York Climate Week, held at the Royal Norwegian Consulate General in New York. The signing brought together Andreas Enger, CEO of Höegh Autoliners, and Danielle Centeno, President of the International Propeller Club, Port of New York & New Jersey.
The International Propeller Club traces its roots to New York in 1922, when a group of maritime professionals began meeting informally to discuss issues affecting shipping and trade. The Port of New York was formally established in 1923, and in 1927 the Propeller Club of the United States was created as a national and international organization, providing the foundation for what would become today’s global International Propeller Club network.
Today, the International Propeller Club connects maritime professionals across ports around the world, promoting cooperation, knowledge-sharing and dialogue across the international maritime community. The International Propeller Club of Norway, established as part of this global network, builds on this nearly century-long tradition by creating a platform that connects Norway’s maritime industry with colleagues and organizations internationally.
The partnership with Höegh Autoliners represents another step in that development.
Headquartered in Norway and operating across major international trade routes, Höegh Autoliners is one of the world’s leading providers of deep-sea RoRo transportation services. Its global operations and longstanding presence in international shipping include important connections with the United States and the North American market.
Andreas Enger, CEO of Höegh Autoliners, said:
“The US has been an integral part of Höegh Autoliners’ history and business since our founding. Partnering with the International Propeller Club is a natural step in strengthening our ties with the US maritime community and advancing cooperation on transatlantic trade. We look forward to building stronger connections and creating new opportunities together.”
The occasion in New York also demonstrated one of the defining characteristics of the Propeller Club: while individual ports are rooted in their respective maritime communities, they form part of an international network connecting maritime professionals across countries and continents.
The partnership will support the International Propeller Club of Norway’s continued work to create arenas for dialogue, knowledge-sharing and collaboration, while strengthening connections between Norway’s maritime community and the wider international shipping industry.
