20 Years NTB – From Newcomer to HUB

1st of April 1999 (not a fool) the first vessel the MV Sealand Integrity has been at NTB. Since then we have been able to deal with the changed requirements. By increasing the team and area or by purchasing the most modern equipment to operate the currently biggest container vessels. We are excited about the future and we will take any challenge.
