Aker Brygge
Strategic Concepts & Mechanics
Primary Evidence
"Norbekk had more tasks for Fredriksen than just piloting the aircraft; he was the shipowner’s butler and bag carrier. Fredriksen's entire archives were kept in three pilot bags that Kjell Norbekk guarded like the crown jewels. They were always with them, and they were not left at the office overnight. After having been subjected to police raids twice, once in London and once in the Oslo offices, the SeaTeams premises at Aker Brygge were not considered safe. At night, the pilot bags slept in a locked cabinet in Fredriksen's house on Ulvøya, driven there by Norbekk."
"In addition to buying and selling ships, construction contracts, options, and loans from himself, there are many lesser touchpoints between Fredriksen and the stock companies he controls. Frontline leases services to the other listed companies and to Fredriksen's private enterprises, and all of them rent premises at Aker Brygge. By Fredriksen privately. No one asks about anything."
