Copenhagen and Oslo – Final two stops in the Nordics
12 April 2022
In July we're coming to Copenhagen and Oslo! We're excited to return to Oslo, and it is the first time ever that the ship visits Copenhagen. In both cities the ship will be open to visitors. We're looking forward to seeing you there!

Copenhagen and Oslo are the two final stops in the Nordic countries before the ship heads towards the rest of Europe on the great Asia Expedition 2022/2023.
Copenhagen, 20–24 July We will be in Copenhagen 20–24 July and will be moored at a great summer location, Nordre Toldbod, just south of Kastellet and close to The Little Mermaid.
The ship has been to Denmark three times before, twice in Frederikshavn (2009 and 2010) and once in Aarhus (2013), but it is the first time we visit Copenhagen.
“On our great Asia Expedition, we wanted to visit all the Scandinavian countries before we head towards the Mediterranean and Asia, and we are very excited to visit both Copenhagen and Oslo as the last two stopovers in the Nordic Countries”, said Kristoffer Bennis, Expedition Director at Götheborg of Sweden.
Oslo, 28–31 July Just at the end of July, 28–31, the ship will come to Oslo. We will be moored at Vippetangen by Akershus Fortress, visible from Aker Brygge/Tjuvholmen.
“ We welcome the sailing ship Götheborg. The Port of Oslo is responsible for the family event Oslo Havnelangs. The sailing ship Götheborg will be a popular attraction as we extend the event to the whole summer”, said Siv Ellen Omland, head of communication in The Port of Oslo.
Götheborg of Sweden has been in Oslo twice before, in May 2013 and in June 2015.
Sail with us
As Copenhagen and Oslo are both announced as the forth and fifth stopovers on the Asia Expedition, the possibility to apply to sail along as a deckhand on board is released for three sailing legs: Stockholm – Copenhagen, Copenhagen – Oslo, and Oslo – London.
These sailing legs are quite different. The first one will be beautiful sailing in the Baltic Sea at the height of summer. The sailing leg from Copenhagen to Oslo is one of the shortest sailing legs on the whole expedition, and perfect for anyone who wants to try a shorter period at sea. From Oslo to London we will sail the North Sea, and are keeping our fingers crossed that we'll see both maritime wildlife and sea sparkle.
So, are you ready for an adventure packed with keeping watch out on the bowsprit, taking in and setting sails, and climbing down to the gun room during the fire round? Is that a yes?

Warm welcome!
Greencarrier Group and Chalmers University of Technology are entering a strategic partnership to accelerate sustainable development in the maritime industry. For three years Greencarrier will support world-leading research and education in maritime environmental science, led by Chalmers Professor Ida-Maja Hassellöv, a global expert in the field.
he partnership combines Chalmers’ academic excellence with Greencarrier’s industry knowledge to tackle urgent environmental challenges and support the shift to more responsible and resilient maritime practices. It also reinforces Chalmers’ recently launched overarching research area, Ocean, that brings together all marine and maritime research and education under one umbrella. Over the past decades, Chalmers has made significant contributions to national, EU, and international environmental policy, including within the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
Long-term commitment to ocean health
Greencarrier’s funding will enable long-term, socially relevant research and help train future experts in the field. The initiative is also aligned with Greencarrier’s Blue Initiative – a key part of the company’s 2027 strategy – which supports projects aimed at reducing the environmental impact of shipping.
“By investing in innovative projects and strategic partnerships, we aim to drive meaningful change. At Greencarrier, we believe in the power of collaboration – together, we can achieve more. We are proud to support Professor Hassellöv in her vital work, both as a scientist and as a valuable partner helping us better understand the ocean and our industry’s impact on it. Her previous research has had a significant influence, shaping policies and driving change within the maritime sector,” says Josefine Widegren, Owner and Board Member, Greencarrier Group
Driving science-based change
The all-embracing goal of this joint effort is to strengthen Chalmers’ role as a broad-based resource in the transition toward sustainable shipping. By bridging the gap between academia and industry, the collaboration will help translate scientific knowledge into practical change. Professor Hassellöv will lead both research and doctoral education focused on the environmental impact of shipping on marine ecosystems.
One of the key research areas will be improving marine risk assessments by incorporating the environmental effects of shipping, including those from shipping lanes – an area where current knowledge is limited.
“I am very pleased that the research field I am dedicated to and passionate about is being given strong and long-term support through Greencarrier’s funding. This contribution will enhance scientific knowledge and, ultimately, support the health of our marine environment,” says Professor Ida-Maja Hassellöv, Chalmers University of Technology.
“Greencarrier’s commitment to the marine environment is truly welcome. Our experience shows that when industry and academia work closely together, we can solve complex challenges. We look forward to more research-based development that contributes to sustainable shipping,” says Martin Nilsson Jacobi, President and CEO of Chalmers University of Technology.
The strategic partnership will help translate scientific findings into industry practice and raise awareness through active knowledge sharing.
Background: A shared maritime legacy
Greencarrier Group and Chalmers share historical ties to Svenska Ostindiska Companiet (SOIC), the Swedish East India Company. Founded in 1731, SOIC became one of Sweden’s most successful trading ventures, helping drive national progress in shipbuilding, science, and infrastructure.
The company’s global knowledge exchange laid the foundation for institutions like Chalmers. Today, Greencarrier owns Svenska Ostindiska Companiet (SOIC) and the historic ship Götheborg, a symbol of Sweden’s maritime legacy. In recognition of their shared roots and ongoing collaboration, Chalmers will serve as an honorary partner to the ship Götheborg in 2025. This shared heritage adds cultural depth to the new partnership, linking history with modern innovation and collaboration.
