Primary Evidence
"Shortly after, Northern Shipping managed to sell two old Westfal-Larsen ships to North Vietnam. And when "Haukanger" and "Kronprins Harald" sailed eastward after the peace settlement, Northern made its first profit of a few hundred thousand kroner. Perhaps there was hope, after all?"

"The most interesting area was medium-sized chemical ships. Here, Norwegian shipowners like Odfjell, Stolt-Nielsen, and Westfal-Larsen are the largest in the world. The outsider attacked the industry leaders, and he was smart enough to secure one of the competitor’s heavyweights, namely Stolt-Nielsen director Ivar Gram, who was set to market Fredriksen's ships from an office just north of New York."
