Profile and company
My professional life has been mostly devoted to teaching and research within the field of shipping economics. For more than 30 years I was working at business schools with this topic; mainly in Bergen and in Copenhagen. I have teaching experiences from many other countries, notably Sweden, Poland, Italy, France, Thailand. Japan and China.
I have now left the university sector and work as an independent consultant in my own company TWC (Tor Wergeland Consult). I also work as a Principal Advisor to MARINTEK in Trondheim
My professional life is summarized in my CV including a list of publications.

favourite quotes
He who loves practice without theory is like a sailor without rudder and compass; never knowing where to be cast
(Leonardo da Vinci 1452-1519)
You shall never bother others,
You shall be both fair and kind.
And whatever else you do, I shall not mind.
The original (in Norwegian):
Man skal ikke plage andre,

og for øvrig kan man gjøre som man vil
