Gerrards Rederi A/S (Gerrards Shipping) was established in 1956 when the two joint-stock ship companies S/A Songdal og S/A Germa were merged.〔(Gerrards Rederi AS ), National Archives, Kristiansand〕 The shipping company struggled through the shipping crisis of the mid 1970s, while, conditions improved during the 1980s.〔"Gerrards Rederi i Kristansand blir det fjerde norske rederiet med bøyelast-kontrakt på Statfjordfeltet i Nordsjøen.", NTB tekst, 05.07.1985〕 In 1984 the company etablished the shipping pool ''samseilingspoolen NOROBO'' together with Arnt J. Mørland, Tønnevolds Tankrederi A/S, Ugland Management Co. A/S, and Norse Shipping Company Pty. Ltd. The pool was to consist of 12 modern combined bulk and tank ships.〔"Rederier med ny samseilingspool", Aftenposten morning edition 10.09.1985 p. 42〕 In 1992, London-based Ugland Brothers acquired the company.,〔"Kjøper rederi" Dagens Næringsliv 10.03.1992 p. 12〕 and in 1994 its activities were moved from Kristiansand, Norway, to London.〔(Gerrards Rederi AS - SAK/D/1098 ), National Archives, Kristiansand〕 In 1999, Gerrards Rederi was for several months the object of intense media attention related to the Pickupcat controversy, in which Pickupcat management had given inaccurate information about the negotiations between the companies, and had thus led the stock market to believe that Gerrards Rederi had agreed to invest NOK 10 millions in the maritime technology company.〔"Avskjed på grått papir" Dagens Næringsliv morning issue, 22.04.1999, p 16〕 ==Vessels== *MS Gerore〔("MS Gerore" ), Frostship〕 *MS Gerina *MT Gerogia 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gerrards Rederi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
