Odfjell Quarterly March 2009
Dear
colleagues,
What was meant to be an assignment
for six months has now lasted for more
than 66 months. As from the upcoming
annual general assembly I will step
down as the President/CEO of Odfjell
SE. So, this will be the last “Dear
Colleagues” column with my signature.
I have had five enjoyable and interesting
years at the helm of a challenging
business. I have learned a great deal
about a very special and unique industry.
More important, I have met and learned
to know a lot of wonderful people in
the Odfjell organization worldwide, and
I would like take this opportunity to
thank each and everyone of you for your
support during my tenure.
When I gave my resignation, little did
I know about the recessionary storm
coming up. We always knew that the
shipping industry was a cyclical one, but
this downturn is worse than anyone of
us has experienced. Market outlook is
highly uncertain, and the next couple of
years will be challenging for all shipping
companies, ourselves included.
The Odfjell organization is ready to fight
in a difficult market, and in my opinion
we are well prepared.
We have:
• a modern fleet, acquired or chartered in at favourable prices and terms.
• a flexible and adequate fleet, and we are able to adjust to changing market conditions and trading patterns.
• expanded our network of tank terminals along our major shipping
lanes and at important petrochemical junctions.
• a worldwide marketing organization with experienced people at important and strategic locations.
• dedicated in-house commercial ship operation with port captains at key locations.
• in-house ship management with skilled technical personnel together with well trained and experienced West European and Filipino mariners.
• well motivated and highly qualified terminal employees, ready to go the extra mile to further improve our tank storage business.
• modern ICT- and communication systems.
• a sound financial situation with no major refinancing needs prior to 2011.
We could, of course, have wished for
a higher equity ratio. Although we
continue to fight the imposition of the
retroactive shipping taxes, if necessary
in court, we have taken measures to
strengthen our solidity.
The parcel tanker industry is among
the most complex and demanding of
all shipping segments. In a market
downturn, performance is even more
important than under more “normal”
circumstances. In addition to strict
regulatory requirements, customers
become even more demanding both in
terms of operational excellence and the
quality and standard of our hardware.
Our focus shall be on safety, quality,
efficiency and cost-effectiveness
within our core business segments,
always taking into consideration
our responsibilities in the areas of
environmental protection and social
responsibilities. By doing so, I am
confident that we will maintain our
position as a leading company within
our industries.
I encourage you to keep up the good
work. Again, I thank you for your cooperation, and please extend the same
good support to my successor, our
current CFO, Haakon Ringdal.
Good luck to you all, and be safe!
Regards,
Terje Storeng
President/CEO

Fleet Flumar –
overcoming challenges
By: Kjell Vassdal
Fleet Flumar
or Flumar
Transporte de
Quimicos e Gases
Ltda. has been
in the process of
taking over the
ship management
functions from
V-Ships Brazil since the beginning of
the year. Our team has been in place
and we have adopted Odfjell’s quality
system as well as all the Emergency
Procedures.
It has been an extremely hectic time
with a number of additional technical
problems experienced in the same
period. However, the first milestone
was passed on 27th of February with
the audit and the issuance of the
interim DOC by ABS. Our target is
to obtain the interim SMC and ISPS
certificates for all the four ships within
March 2009.
Office Accommodation
Fleet Flumar is located together with
Flumar’s accounting department and
Granel Terminals in São Paulo. The
same office building also includes
Flumar operation, Odfjell Brazil and the
senior administration of Flumar, Odfjell
Brazil.
Crew
The Flumar fleet crew are Brazilians or
foreigners with a Brazilan work permit
as this is a requirement for operation in
cabotage trade. Flumar is operating on
a two months on board and one month
home system and we have a total of
about 160 seafarers employed. The
crewing manager is V-Ships Brazil.
Performance
The Flumar fleet has an average age of
23 years. Adding complicating factors
like Pielstick main engines and short
sea voyages with hardly any gas free
periods during operations give an idea
about the challenges we are facing. New
routines, including Odfjell machinery

Manager; Kjell Vassdal, Fleet Manager
reports and event reporting, were
implemented effective 1 Jan. 2009.
Future
Fleet renewal will be the main challenge
in the time ahead. In the mean time,
we have to ensure that our systems
are implemented in a practical way
in order to obtain real improvement
of the ships’ performance. For this
purpose, we have already used support
resources from the Technology section
in Bergen both on the engine side and
on the purchasing side. We will also use
resources from the QA section for an
internal audit prior to carrying out the
Initial DOC audit, scheduled for August
2009.
Flumar may be considered as Odfjell’s
gateway to the Brazilian market.
However, in order to maintain this
status, we must maintain a good quality
in all our operations.

Renewal of the fleet is top priority for Flumar. However, local legislation with
severe restrictions on how to qualify for cabotage trade makes this a very
difficult task.
OTK acquires ISO14001:2004
By: Jae-Un Lee
To make continuous improvement of
Quality Management System, Odfjell
Terminals Korea (OTK) acquired the
ISO14001:2004 certificate from SGS
in December 2008, subsequent to
ISO9001:2000 in 2006 and participated
in CDI-T (Chemical Distribution
Institute Terminals) in 2007.
OTK started with ISO14001:2004
preparation by making new procedures
related to EMS from April 2008. The
procedures are reviewed by several
internal and external audits and an
additional 14 new procedures were
completed. OTK has now in total 84
procedures including Quality and
Environment manuals.
Due to all these achievements, we have
not only secured our sales but also
international and domestic customers
have recognized us as a top qualified
terminal.OTK will continuously take
efforts to improve the Quality and
Environmental Management System.
Odfjell Terminals Korea is proud to have achieved the ISO 14001:2004 standard
Facts: ISO 14001
• ISO14001 is an international accepted standard for Environmental Management System (EMS).
• The standard is designed to address the balance between maintaining profitability and reducing environmental impact.
• ISO14001:2004 is applicable to any organization that wishes to establish, implement, maintain and improve an environmental management system, to assure itself of conformity with its stated environmental policy and to demonstrate conformity with the international standard.
In memory of
Bernt Daniel Odfjell
By: Dan Odfjell
My father passed away on January 12,
having lived a long and productive life,
leaving behind him wife, children, grand
children and even great grand children.
When you pass the age of 100, as he
did on July 22 last year, that is possible.
But my father left much else behind
him. In our Quarterly, last September,
I briefly covered the story of his life.
My father very much lived for the
company. We all owe him credit for his
many achievements, for his hard work,
for his wisdom and for his decency.
God bless his memory.

Good health –
investment for life
By: Amanda Aksnes/Margrethe Gudbrandsen
2008 and 2009 show a decreasing
sick absence rate among the Odfjell
seafarers compared to 2007. – It is
challenging to pinpoint one concrete
cause to the decreased absence rate,
but I believe our focus on good health
in our HSE program has had a positive
effect, says Helge Olsen, SVP Ship
Management.
Implementing training equipment on
board the vessel has been one of the
elements in the HSE program. Several
of the vessels have been quick to
implement training equipment on board
and have experienced many positive
effects of the project. Many of these
would have liked to share their positive
experiences of this project with our
readers, however due to limited space
we can only share one history.
Heavy work-out at Bow Sirius
Bow Sirius is one of the Odfjell ships
that has taken the HSE program
seriously. On board the vessel,
significant improvements have been
made in the training room. They have
installed gym equipment such as an
elliptical cross-trainer, lifting machine,
rowing machine, stationary bicycle,
treadmill and sit-up bench to name a
few. In addition a routine of monitoring
the blood pressure of each crew is
established.
- Health and fitness have always been
The gym room on board Bow Sirius is used actively by the crew
two essential variables that need to be
maintained as far as seafarers onboard
are concerned. Our line of work involves
strenuous roles, both physically and
mentally. Being away from our loved
ones adds up strain, and this could
hinder optimization of performance
onboard if not tended to appropriately.
Lack of physical activity may also lead
to health problems. It is therefore
important for the crew on board to
have a channel of releasing stress and
staying healthy, says Rescioso Roy Filio,
Chief Officer on Bow Sirius.
The focus on good health is also
a Management issue and is very
welcomed by mariners. - With the
support of the Management, we have
indeed gotten closer to a healthier and
fitter life, emphasizes Filio.
To exercise, or not to exercise….that is the question
A lot of people say that they do not have
time to exercise. It doesn`t actually take
more than half an hour a day of exercise
to improve your health. Remember some exercise is better than none, more
exercise is generally better than less,
and no exercise can be disastrous.
But why is exercise beneficial for your
life? Here you will find a scientific list of
proven health benefits that you can get
from regular exercise:

Focus on good health
Four in Odfjell
about exercise
Good health is important for all
employees whether you work at sea or
onshore. We have asked five random
Odfjell employees the following
questions:
• Do you train?
• If you do, what is the best effect you
get from exercising?
Per Magnesen, Mail
and Distribution
Coordinator, Bergen
- I play football every Sunday.
- It is nice to be in good shape, and it is
very social.
Gro
Solberg-Hansen,
Executive
Secretary, Bergen
- I go for a walk every day and
sometimes I jog. In winter, I often go
skiing.
- Physical activity and to be in a good
shape is important.
Amanda Aksnes and Helge Olsen in Ship Management are pleased to see the positive
effect exercising has on the seafarers
In the HSE program for 2005 – 2006
Odfjell Ship Management decided
to initiate a project on encouraging
physical training on board for ship
personnel. The main goal of the project
was to improve general health level
among the seafarers in the company.
One of the ways to achieve this was
to have the gym on board properly
equipped. In 2008 a new mapping of
equipment was completed by social
and welfare officer Amanda Aksnes. A
project budget was then approved for
the purchase of training equipment.
New equipment was purchased in 2008,
or is in the process of being purchased
and implemented in 2009. - We have
seen the importance of this project
and the results it has given regarding
improvement of health and motivation
on board the ships. We therefore
decided to prolong the project, says
Helge Olsen, SVP Ship Management.
Social and welfare officer Amanda
Aksnes says that the focus on health
among Odfjells’ seafarers will not stop
at just the implementation of training
equipment on board. It will continue
in many ways and on many levels.
She shares one of the plans she has:
- I am currently in negotiations with
several of the larger training centres in
Norway. My goal is to get good training
agreements for the Odfjell seafarers
who live in Norway. The result of these
negotiations will soon be revealed.
Jamie Lian,
Senior
Purchaser,
Singapore
- Yes, I swim and jog.
- De-stress. I often feel refreshed and
energized after my jog or swim, and I
feel that I can face any new challenges or
obstacles ahead.
Mernie Bimslager,
Administrative
Assistant, Houston
- Yes, I go to a gym. I also sometimes
walk and ride a bicycle. Two nights a
week my husband and I do Country
Western Dancing.
- To feel better and keep in shape and
lose weight.

Mini industry training
By: LCDR Gretchen Bailey, Hazardous Materials and Standards Division, U.S. Coast Guard, Headquarters Washington D.C.
I was given the unique opportunity
to participate in a “mini” version of
Industry Training with Odfjell USA LP
for two weeks during the months of
July and August in 2008. During this
time I was able to see the overall day
to day operations of the shore side
team of vessel agents, chartering
officials, claims and terminal
operations.
One of the reasons I was so interested
in attending this training was to see
how a single hiccup or incident could
impact the normal flow of information
to orchestrate the port movements of
large chemical tankers.
My training started off with six days
of working with the ships’ agents and
administrative staff in the Houston
office. Here I was able to observe
all the fine details involved with the
company getting their vessels into and
out of the Port of Houston. It started
with watching the administrative
staff work all the details of the vessel
included but not limited to the Bills of
Lading, chartering of the vessel, claims
and vessel movements to the berths
for discharge and loading of cargoes.
Next, I worked with vessels’ agents and
operations through the daunting task of
compiling all the required government
notifications and paperwork. The
paperwork started with advance notice
of arrivals, U.S. Customs documents,
and all vessel clearance issues. They

LCDR Gretchen Bailey on board MV Bow Fargus
also had to be prepared for the shifting
of the vessel from anchorage to berth,
to lay berth and back again, due to the
ever changing status of available or
non-available docks.
The Houston area ports, which includes
Texas City, Freeport and Galveston,
are extremely busy ports so it was
interesting to watch the staff coordinate
changes and work the vessels around.
It is not uncommon for a vessel to
get held up at a dock, causing a chain
reaction with all the other vessels
waiting to shift into the Houston area.
The Odfjell agents are very efficient
at shifting vessels within the port and
working their vessels around. On day
seven of training I was able to berth in
the Houston Ship Channel via the MV
BOW FARGUS, O.N. 9047764 as it was
shifting.
During the two days I spent with the
Odfjell Terminal personnel, I was able to
observe personnel assigned to control
room operations, facility operations,
policy and procedures, as well as cargo
operations. The cargo operations that
take place on a daily basis in the facility
require a team that is efficient and
coordinated which they demonstrated
with great flexibility.
It was great having this opportunity to
see all that actually takes place within
the chemical tanker and facility industry.
As a U.S. Coast Guard Marine Inspector
we go on these vessels to conduct our
inspections, but never realize all the
work that go on behind the scenes to
make sure these vessels are on time
and ready for inspection. It was good
to see all the things that can go wrong
in scheduling a vessel’s arrival and
understand that sometimes “patience is
needed”. Odfjell is an amazing company
with great people and talent. I am glad
I had this opportunity to partner with
them on this great training opportunity.
Odfjell has started a great program that
would add value to any U.S. Coast Guard
Marine Inspector or staff personnel.
Special Thanks to: John Salvesen who
started this program and without him
this program would not be possible.
Denise Schaefer, Robert Ruiz, Bob
Warmbold, Sandy Pitcox, and Don
Gore, your knowledge was greatly
appreciated.
There is no doubt that Houston is an extremely busy port and synchronizing ships in
and out at all levels is a challenging job.

From milk to chemicals
By: Margrethe Gudbrandsen
In my first four months as
Communication Manager at Odfjell, I
have been challenged by pirates, the
financial crisis and the public debate of
recycling of ships. A slightly different
work content than in my previous job,
which was getting people to buy more
milk and cheese.
My previous position was as the
Communication Manager in TINE
a major Norwegian dairy company,
where I worked in a total of 8 years.
Professionally speaking, I’m working
with many of the same tasks today as I
did in my previous job, but I have to learn
a whole new industry and consequently
a ‘new language’. In addition, there is a
big difference between working in a stock
listed company and a cooperative owned
by farmers.
Communication tasks
A part of my daily tasks will involve
having the editorial responsibility for
Quarterly. Fortunately, there are many
good writers and contributors throughout
the organization. The communication
survey, carried out in January this year,
says that this is an important magazine
for Odfjell. A magazine that unifies all the
Odfjell employees by presenting different
parts, activities and people within the
Odfjell organisation. I believe this is
important to maintain.
In addition to being the editor of
Quarterly, I will also have the editorial
responsibility for both the Odfjell intranet
and website. I really look forward to
working with the establishment of the
new intranet and website. I am sure they
will become even more effective and alive
as channels of information than they
already are today. To make the intranet
more alive it is important that the whole
organisation gives input to news that can
be published.
On the external side I am responsible
for investor relations and the public
relations contact for Odfjell.
Sailor
I am very fond of the sea and have been
an active dinghy sailor since I was a little
girl, but I have never been on a tank
ship before. Being brought up by the sea
and with sailing, I already know some
of the maritime terms and phrases. I
look forward to the day that I get the
opportunity to join one of the Odfjell
ships and not least to visit one of our tank
terminals.
Being a mother of Mathias (2) and Amalie
(5) occupies the rest of the day when I
am not working. Recently we moved in
a newbuilt house, so we still have a lot
of small things to do, if they ever will get
done.
Open door
I have a strong belief in the importance
of the information channels being more
alive with fresh news. However,
I cannot do this by myself. Therefore my
door, phone and e-mail will always be
open. I really would appreciate if all my
co-workers could tip me about events,
incident and activities that have interest
for others. Only this way we can have
vivid communication channels within
Odfjell.
Communication satisfaction
In the communication survey carried out
early this year, employees report that
they, in general, are quite satisfied with
the various communication channels in
Odfjell. They respond that they feel best
informed about social events and HR
related issues, and least informed about
business strategies and management
decisions.
Intranet - important news channel
The intranet is used daily, or several
times a day, by 71% of the respondents.
Intranet is regarded as the best channel
for corporate and local news for those
offices with local sites. Intranet is suited
for fast news, but is not the best channel
for giving background for management
decision.
The communication survey returned 314
responses out of 900 sent out.
Quarterly – the culture builder
Nearly all the respondents read Odfjell’s
10
magazine Quarterly. The respondents
say that it is a channel for familiarizing
departments, vessels, terminals,
decisions, projects etc. Overall it
strengthens the feeling of being a
part of a bigger fellowship and that
the magazine creates engagement. In
addition, Quarterly could also be used as
a channel to give better understanding of
management decisions.
Excellent teamwork!
By: Leif Hopland
Last fall, Bow Prima experienced a
problem with an overheated tail shaft
bearing, just after the ship had left
Freeport bound for New Orleans.
Since there are no dry docks located in
US Gulf, we had a big challenge.
Malin Ship Repair, Galveston, was
appointed to do the repair job, and it
was to be carried out with the ship
being in a forward trimmed position. A
requirement from port of Galveston is
that ships should be gas free prior to
docking. Therefore all cargoes that had
been loaded in the Houston, U.S. Gulf
had to be discharged prior to repair.
Challenge 1
It was decided to use Bow Atlantic
and Bow Star as transhipment vessels
for the cargo. But to utilize foreign
flag vessels to do cargo transfer in
the U.S. waters is a violation to Jones
Act. However, our agency manager,
Denise Schaefer, managed to get a
dispensation from Customs in Houston.
Challenge 2
With the Customs hurdle cleared, we
were one step closer to getting the
Bow Prima discharged. Needless to
say there were more challenges to
over come. Hurricane Gustav headed
towards Houston as a major hurricane.
The ports of Houston and Galveston
activated their hurricane preparedness
plan, which include emptying the
port of all vessels. Eventually Gustav
changed direction and made landfall in
Excellent teamwork made repairing the tail shaft on Bow Prima efficient and possible
despite major challenges
New Orleans.
Challenge 3
As this wasn’t enough, we got a new
tropical depression with Ike. Days prior
to Hurricane Ike’s prediction to make
landfall, we had both Bow Atlantic and
Bow Star in position for board/board
operations. With good planning (ship/
operation/terminal), we managed to
do the transfer to both ships within
a short period of time. In addition to
these operations, we were also able to
gas free the Bow Prima prior to leaving
Odfjell Terminal Houston.
The Bow Prima was one of the last
ships that moved in the Houston ship
channel prior to Ike landfall and one of
just a few that obtained permission to
stay in the port during the storm. She
shifted to City Dock, where she rode out
Hurricane Ike with wind speed gusts
of 95 knots per hour. The aftermath
of Ike eliminated the plan of repairing
the vessel in Galveston, so all repairs
were done at City Docks, Houston ship
channel.
Excellent teamwork
Being involved in the Bow Prima
general average, one cannot
emphasize enough the advantage
of having Odfjell terminal located in
Bayport. It is one of the few berths
in the Houston ship channel which is
considered a safe spot for direct board/
board operations. The terminal has
nitrogen supply and a flare that can
be used for gas freeing of cargo tanks.
Most importantly, I am proud to say
they have key personnel accustomed
to heavy chemical operations that
were essential to the success of this
operation and special situation under
some very serious time constraints.
Dealing with a general average
situation like this requires and shows
a top of the line communication
and teamwork between all parties
concerned.

Rotterdam key-users
- ready for TMS
By Theo Kruithof and Andre Biener
The need for the new global Terminal
Management System (TMS) is evident,
and Houston now operates on a daily basis
with TMS. But how does the project team
works? Where do the SAP experts get
their information from in order to build our
TMS-system? Whom do they talk to within
our organization?
The project team works with a lot of
people, but the so called key-users
form their main counterparts in the
information gathering. – Basically, the
key-users are the Odfjell mouth, eyes
and ears when it comes to input to and
output from the TMS-system, says Frits
Forsell.
Building the system
John Bettonvil, Arie Kruiniger and Frits
Forsell are three of the colleagues that
have been relieved to a large extent
from their daily work for a substantial
period to help setting up TMS in Odfjell
Terminal Rotterdam. A significant part
of their time is being spent on testing
the system.
- SAP as a standard software provider
provides a portfolio of standard
modules, like building blocks. All these
individual building blocks need to be
customized to make them work for
Odfjell. Most of the input provided for
the customization comes from keyusers, in cooperation with the system
architects from Odfjell and SAP. The
key-user input is the foundation for
the developments. Once implemented,
these developments need to be tested
on functionality and user-efficiency,
says Arie Kruiniger.
Internal training
Another task of the key-users is to
develop and execute end-user training
in close cooperation with the training
manager Nico van de Ven. Key-users
also guide the end-users in their
respective departments during the
transition period. -We, have worked
in Rotterdam in many years and we
know our colleagues, the departments
and their specific needs, says John
Bettonvil. - Once everything is
running well, they will stay involved
in upgrades, further developments,
trouble shooting and training.
- Once we go live in Rotterdam there
will be no back-up from the old system
the moment TMS is up and running.
But at the same time we hope that the
decision-makers keep listening to us.
After all, we represent the people that
will work with the system in the near
future and many years to come, says
Kruiniger.
Playful tone
- The atmosphere in the project team
is very good and we all seem to get
along well with each other, both with
our internal colleagues and with the
external people even though most of
the SAP-consultants are German,
ends Forsell.

Welcome to new Board members!
Name:
Ilias A. Iliopoulos
Born: 1963
Status: Married,
two children
Place of residence:
Monaco
Nationality: Greek
Impression of Odfjell: It is a well founded and structured
organization that provides its customers with high quality
and reliable services and with great respect to safety and
environmental issues. Odfjell’s unmatched personnel, its
valuable client base and its strong market share are the
ingredients for continued leadership in the sector.
Ilias A. Iliopoulos was appointed new Board member in
December 2008. He replaced Peter G. Livanos, the second
largest shareholder in Odfjell, and he represents ChemLog
Holdings Limited. However he is quite familiar with Odfjell:
- In the past few years, after the merger of Odfjell and
Seachem, I have had the opportunity to represent ChemLog
Holdings in many Annual General Meetings. I have had the
chance to meet Odfjell’s Board of Directors as well as the
Management, and be familiarized with the Company’s vision,
objectives and corporate strategy, explains Mr. Iliopoulos.
Name: Irene Waage
Basili
Born: 1967
Status: Married,
two children
Place of residence:
Bergen
Nationality: Norwegian
Impression of Odfjell: I have the impression of a nimble and
commercially oriented organization which has a strong focus on
delivering high quality services and a consistent operation. I see
the company as well in tune with the market and able to position
itself to changes on a short notice. From what I see there is a
high level of competence at many levels in the organization and
people with long experience and high motivation. I think these
are critical components in a successful shipping company
Irene Waage Basili was appointed as new Board member in
December last year. She has shipping background both from
USA and from Norway, among these ten years in Wallenius
Wilhelmsen Logistics, where her last position was as
Commercial Director. Her last position was as CEO for Arrow
Seismic ASA, recently taken over by PGS. At the time being she
is working with PGS on the integration and follows up of the
Arrow activities into PGS.
Substantial shipping and finance experience
Mr. Iliopoulos has a Master of Science in Shipping, Trade
& Finance. He has held various higher positions within the
shipping industry and currently he is holding the position
as CEO of DryLog Ltd., Bermuda and a supervisory role on
investment and financial matters of Ceres Shipping Ltd.,
Bermuda.
Focus on strategy
Even though she is quite fresh within Odfjell, she points out that
strategy work is one of the very important works for the Board:
- I view Odfjell as an industry leader in their segment and the
challenge when being an industry leader is that there is no one
to follow. That makes the strategic planning both more difficult
and exciting, says Mrs. Basili.
The importance of human element
The HSE area is an area he takes particularly interest in.
- The human element has always been an area of focus,
especially for Odfjell where the sea and shore staff are
extremely experienced and well focused on providing a first
class transportation service, safe for them and safe for the
clients’ cargoes. I consider top staff and priority on safety
the pillars of a successful business, says Mr. Iliopoulos.
Rocky times
She is prepared for rocky times well into 2010 and believes
that for most companies the result is going to be impacted
negatively in this time. - I think we all need to be realistic about
the prospects for 2009 and prepare ourselves for what’s ahead,
but at the same time keep in mind that these markets could also
offer opportunities for the companies that are well positioned,
she reflects.
Relaxes by sea
When he is not working, his favourite recreation activities
take place by the sea.
- Sailing and motor boats are of utmost interest to me.
Participated in my youth in climbing expeditions has left a
profound love for mountaineering and skiing, he ends.
Gardening
Gardening is one of her favorite activities for personal recreation.
In addition she likes to spend time at the family’s country house
in Ulvik in the fantastic Hardangerfjord on the west coast of
Norway.
- Gardening and being at my country house gives me energy and
time-out in a hectic every day, she ends.

QM Corner
Environmental focus in Odfjell
Sea transport is recognised as being
among the most environmentally
friendly ways of carriage compared
to alternative transport. - However,
knowing that 90% of all goods are
carried at sea, we acknowledge that
sea transport is a major source of
pollution in the transport industry,
says Jan Didrik Lorentz, SVP Quality
Management and sponsor of Odfjell
Tankers Environmental Council.
To meet the challenging demands for
environment protection from mandatory
regulations as well as our own
expectations Odfjell has established
“Odfjell Tankers Environmental Council”
– OTEC. The council’s mandate is to
ensure that important environmental
aspects are identified and, if possible,
quantified. - Our impacts on the
environment can in many respects be
considered as substantial. An active
approach to environmental issues is
necessary, and OTEC shall also monitor
the development of any environmental
initiatives, says Lorentz.
First focus on shipping
The Council’s initial focus has been
on the tanker division. However,
it is important that the rest of the
organisation becomes a part of OTEC’s
monitoring process. - If we are to have
a total environmental focus, all parts
of the organization should be included,
says Bjørn Ydse, secretary for OTEC. In
the Council, he works with Svend Foyn-
Bruun, VP Operational Support, Bjarte
Wetteland, Controller & Procurement
Analyst in Ship Management
and Margrethe Gudbrandsen,
Communication Manager.
Saves money
It is motivating to know that beneficial
economical decisions in many cases are
also beneficial from an environmental
view point. For instance considering
the high fuel prices last year, Odfjell
decided to reduce vessels speed to save
bunkers. The speed reduction increased
the net earning with approximately 4
mill USD and also resulted in a emission
decrease of more than 10 000 tons CO2
and close to 2 000 tons SO2.
OTEC is represented by: From left Svend Foyn-Bruun, Bjørn Ydse, Margrethe Gudbrandsen and Bjarte Wetteland

Odfjell vessels in a greater picture
By: Leif Gunnar Alvær
Installing Purple
Finder improves
the ability to
increase operational
understanding and
cooperation between
ship operators, port
operators, ship
brokers and masters
as they, literally, can see the greater
picture.
This January, Odfjell Tankers
implemented an automatic vessel
tracking system by using Pole Star’s
Purple Finder. Responsible for the
Purple Finder implementation has
been Erik Hjortland, Fleet Performance
Analyst at Odfjell Tankers.
The Purple Finder system is automatic
and uses the vessel’s Inmarsat-C
terminals to send position, speed
and other information at pre-defined
intervals to Pole Star, and works very
much like a GPS system. We control this
information through the Purple Finder
website, where the fleet is displayed in a
world map.
Vessel’s positions
The vessel’s positions are updated
every six hours, except when they are
entering special areas, such as the Bay
of Aden piracy area. In these areas the
vessel’s positions are being polled more
frequently. A vessel’s position can also
be requested immediately, a feature
The Odfjell Fleet displayed on Purple Finder provides a strategic view of the fleet.
that can be used in case of emergency.
Besides showing a vessel’s position, the
Purple Finder system also provides us
with weather conditions and average
speed between positions. The system
can also automate the manually AMVER
reporting that the vessels are doing
today.
Google Earth gives new possibilities
As the Purple Finder information can be
displayed in Google Earth, it is possible
to zoom down to the specific berth the
vessel is positioned at. Google Earth
is a massive information platform that
opens up a lot of exciting possibilities.
Currently we are investigating the
possibility of including port-, terminaland canal information, and we are
hoping to see Google Earth becoming an
important decision making tool in the
near future.
The system can be used to present
information such as; vessel routes,
zones of interest such as danger zones,
piracy areas, ECA’s, load zones, etc.,
and it is even possible to import AIS
data in Google Earth. By doing this, it
will be possible to see both Odfjell and
competitor vessels on a live feed directly
in Google Earth. All this information can
be available in one single system, for
easy reference and increased situation
awareness for all levels within our
organization.
Access
The intention is to give the vessels
access to Purple Finder/Google Earth
as soon as this is technically feasible,
but until the vessels are equipped with
sufficient online systems, this is limited
to only a few vessels per today.

Photo competition
Who needs a professional photographer
when we already have them within
Odfjell? The photo competition we
announced in the last Quarterly
generated many nice photos taken by
Odfjell employees.
The jury, consisting of the Quarterly
editorial committee, picked the photo
that is covering this Quarterly, “Bow
Fagus crossing the Atlantic Ocean”
as the overall winner. The photo is
taken by Andre Lillebø on Bow Fagus.
Congratulations!
However, we must emphasize once
again, that the photos received had
overall a very high quality and we
would like to share some of them with
you. We also would like to thank the
photographers who have taken these
nice shots, and encourage them to
continue taking photos and send them to
Quarterly in the future.

Celebrating Chinese New Year
By; Thomas Tao Wei Qiang
China, as the largest
emerging market, is
undoubtedly one of
the most important
market for Odfjell
business. Odfjell has
two joint venture
terminals in Jiangyin
and Dalian and one
joint venture shipping company in
Shanghai. The Chinese New Year as the
king of the Chinese festive symbolizes
the uniqueness of the Chinese
culture which Odfjell employee are
increasingly dealing with in daily life.
The awareness of this significant
Chinese Culture is beneficial.
Chinese New Year (also called Lunar
New Year and The Spring Festival) is
widely celebrated in Great China as well
as in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and
other countries with significant ethnic
Chinese populations.
The lunar calendar
Chinese New Year is celebrated on a
different calendar date from January
1st because it is based on the Chinese
lunar calendar. The Chinese lunar
calendar is based on a combination of
lunar and solar movements. The lunar
cycle is about 29.5 days, which is short
of solar cycle. In order to “catch up”
with the solar calendar, the Chinese
insert an extra month once every few
years. This is the same as adding an
extra day on leap year in the Gregorian
calendar. For this reason, the date of the
Chinese New Year can vary anywhere
between January 21st and February 20th
in the Gregorian calendar. January 26th,
2009 marks the start of the new lunar
year, the year of OX. Since the Chinese
New Year falls on different dates of
the Gregorian calendar every year and
on different days of the week, Chinese
government opts to shift working days
in order to accommodate a longer public
holiday.
Family happening
Traditionally, the Chinese New Year
starts with the new moon on the first
day of the new year, and ends on the full
moon 15 days later. The most important
event day will be the Chinese New Year
Eve where families get together for a
reunion dinner, first 3 days and the 15th
days. Chinese New Year Eve kick starts
the Chinese New Year celebration with
fireworks, family gatherings, family
Splendid firework and dragon/lion dances, which mean to scare off the evil traditionally,
add the joyful celebration of the season
18
meals, visiting friends and relatives, as
well as dragon dances/lion dances. The
15th day of the new year is called the
Lantern Festival, which is celebrated at
night with lantern displays and children
carrying lanterns in a parade.
New Year symbols
The Chinese New Year tradition is not
only celebrated as a family affair, a
time of reunion and thanksgiving, but
also revolves around signifying the
importance of honoring ancestors,
reversing misfortune and preparing for
the future. One example is the house
cleaning before the Chinese New
Year. Cleaning the house is a symbolic
undertaking designed to rid you of all
the misfortune experienced during
the old year. The housecleaning is a
metaphor for paying off outstanding
debts and making peace with those
you have come into conflict with. The
overarching theme of the traditions
associated with Chinese New Year is on
sweeping the old year away, literally and
comprehensively, and welcome the new
year with hope and fortune.
It is also auspicious to start the New
Year wearing new clothes and shoes.
And it’s considered taboo to chastise,
argue or quarrel during Chinese New
Year, so children especially look forward
to this festival.
It is not a surprise to notice that
there have been many changes of
Chinese New Year celebration adjacent
with the rapid changes of China in
the past. Some traditional events
weaken gradually, while some still
remain. For example, in the old days,
the celebrations were traditionally
highlighted with a religious ceremony
given in honor of Heaven and Earth, the
gods of the household and the family
ancestors. Nowadays, there is very
little religious theme, however, the
most important thing in the first day of
the Chinese New Year is to pay respect
visits to the oldest and most senior
members of their extended family,
usually their parents, grandparents or
great-grandparents. In the modernized
China with the reduced core family size
and affluence of the middle class, it is
of the travel arrangements has to be
taken before the trip. Try to avoid rail
transportation as much as possible, as
there are a flood of people travelling
for reunions in their home town. The
comforting news is that the air travel is
not that affected except for longer queue
time for safety checks and probably
increased prices.
It is tradition and considered auspicious for adults to give away ‘red packets’ containing
token sums of money to children. It is a blessing from the adults that the following year will
be a good one. Those receiving the red packets will in turn give mandarin oranges which
symbolizes good luck and prosperity
increasingly popular for young people
to use the week long holiday to travel
domestically or oversea during Chinese
New Year.
Business conduct
The tradition of ushering the new year and
preparing for the future makes the period
just before the New Year a very critical
time to visit customer. This customer
relation management event focuses on
visiting business associates, business
partners and key customers to thank for
their support and business in the past
year, and to lay down a good foundation
for business in the coming year.
Although most people will return to
work after the 7th day in China (this
varies in the rest of Asia), it is also
important to understand that informal
celebrations, may span over a period
of several weeks both before and
after the official holidays. In this time
many businesses operate in ‘holiday
mode’, and generally it isn’t time
for making decisions or business
negotiations. Especially businesses in
the manufacturing and construction
industry, which employ millions of
immigrant worker from the west part of
China, grinds to a halt. Therefore this is
not a good time to plan a business trip,
or to expect a great deal of productivity.
Hectic travel period
The New Year travel season has a
profound impact on business trips
as well as the supply chain for most
business operations, as there are an
estimated 340 million passengers who
make 2.2 billion journeys within 40 days
in this period. In case you do need to
travel to China for business reasons
during this period, careful consideration
Due to the high priority towards
passenger transportation, there
is regular disruptions of logistics
and the supply chain for normal
businesses. Therefore, businesses
have to take these operation planning
considerations.

Special transport in Rotterdam
By: Theo Kruithof
In December last year, a special
cargo was delivered at our Rotterdam
terminal. Another ten tanks were
delivered by barge as the second phase
of a 21 tank replacement program.
The tanks were built some 20
kilometres up-stream of the river. Since
they are too big to be carried by trucks,
the tanks were delivered by barge.
Large cranes took the tanks from the
pontoon to shore. A very delicate job
due to the weight and the dimensions
of the tanks. Onward transportation at
the terminal was by a 72 wheel truck.
Finally, the tanks were placed on their
prefabricated concrete mounts, again
20
using one of the big cranes. Thereafter
they were handed over to the contractor
for further painting, finishing and
connected to the nearby pump station.
The tanks are expected to be handed
over to Operations by June this year and
will go into immediate use of Odfjell
PID.
Facts:
• Number of tanks: 10
• Steel type: carbon steel
• Tank sizes: 700 cbm (6x) and 1.600 cbm (4x)
• Weight of the tanks: approx. 35.000 kilos (the small ones), resp. 65.000 kilos.
• Diameter: 8 meters (700 cbm) and 12 meters (1.600 cbm)
• Height: 14,60 meters
With this replacement, OTR’s storage capacity is back at 1.635.000 cbm.
Odfjell Chile inauguration
By: Luis-Alberto Salomon, Odfjell Chile
On November 19th 2008, Odfjell’s
office in Santiago, Chile opened.
Approximately one month and 32
degrees Celsius later, the office, initially
consisting of four desks, one man, one
computer and one cellular phone, was
fully equipped. The new office is situated
in the area of Las Condes in the North
Eastern part of Santiago facing the
great Andes mountains. Today Odfjell y
Vapores and Odfjell are sharing offices
in the same floor as our Chilean agents,
B&M Agencia Maritima.
On January 5th 2009, we had the
pleasure of welcoming Dan Odfjell to
officially inaugurate and inspect the
new premises. Next to the splendid
ship model of Bow Saga placed in the
reception, we had the opportunity to
mark the beginning of close cooperation
between Odfjell, Odfjell y Vapores and
B&M and hopefully the continuation
of the strengthening of our company’s
position on the West Coast of South
America.
Odfjell Chile is now Odfjell’s second
commercial office on the West Coast of
South America (first being Odfjell Peru
with start-up in 2007). The office’s main
task is to represent Odfjell Tankers in
Chile by maintaining and developing
commercial relationship with new and
existing customers, in addition to provide
market information. The office will work
mainly towards chemical importers and
distributors, traders and the Chilean mining
industry.
Odfjell y Vapores is the joint venture
between Odfjell and CSAV, established
in 1997, operating mainly on the Chilean/
Peruvian coast carrying Sulfuric Acid. The
first vessel of Odfjell y Vapores was the
old Polish class Bow Sun, locally renamed
Bow Andes, later replaced by the Bow Sea
(renamed Bow Condor). Today, Odfjell y
Vapores is operating with the Bow Pacifico
(the trustworthy ex Bow Saphir), now sailing
under Chilean flag and with Chilean crew.
B&M have been our agents in Chile
since 2000. Their head office is located in
Santiago, but has established own offices
in the main Chilean ports, especially in the
ports that Odfjell Tanker’s frequently call, so
as to ensure a personal and efficient service
at all times to our vessels.

‘Ship and
Ocean’
exhibition
Odfjell takes part in the ‘Ship and Ocean’ exhibition at VilVite
Sience Center in Bergen. The exhibition started 31 January
and ends 31 July 2009.
- The purpose of this participation is to highlight the
importance of shipping in the society and Odfjell’s role as
a key player in shipping. We also want to profile Odfjell to
youngsters and to the society at large, and to increase the
knowledge of our business, says Margrethe Gudbrandsen,
Communication Manager at Odfjell.
Odfjell contributes to the exhibition with ship models, a
chemical show, and other Odfjell related elements.

PID laboratory moved to OTM
By: Piotr Skotnicki
In the past the Petrochemical
Industrial Distillation (PID) laboratory
was located very close to the
distillation units. Although this was
very convenient it is no longer in
accordance with the safety regulations.
Consequently the PID lab moved in
2004 into the Saybolt laboratory, located
at the main office building of Odfjell
Terminals (Rotterdam). As time passed
the business of the PID as well as
Saybolt continued to grow, and more
laboratory space was needed.
In January 2008 OTR acquired Odfjell
Terminals Maritiem (OTM), just across
the road. OTM is the Port Reception
Facility for wastewater for the
Rotterdam Harbor and provides jetty
services. OTM also has a laboratory
where samples of the waste water
From left: Ilja Strijland, Johan de Jong,
Gerlof Meijer, Anita van den Bulk, Piotr
Skotnicki and Pieter van Bergen at the
official opening of the OTM/PID lab
22
offered to OTM are analyzed and
which provides process control for the
biological waste water treatment facility
at OTM. The lab at OTM is large enough
to house all of the equipment of the PID
lab, as well as the remaining equipment
of OTM. Plans were made, and after
some investments, a.o. a state-of-theart air treatment system, better lighting
and a new floor, the PID lab moved
across the street into the OTM lab in
October 2008.
Apart from the two OTM analysts and
the three PID analysts who work at the
lab, Odfjell shipping is also using the
laboratory at OTM. From time-to-time
they use the laboratory in order to
evaluate the best way in which to clean
tanks.
By moving the PID lab significant
costs savings have been realized.
Furthermore we expect synergetic
effects by having all of the analysts of
PID and OTM together in one laboratory.
The official opening of the combined
OTM/PID lab was celebrated on Friday
December 19th, 2008.
Delivery of Bow Hector
13 February 2009 Bow Hector was
delivered on time-charter to Odfjell
Asia II Pte Ltd, Singapore from the
owners Safemarine Corporation,
Panama. Anne-Marit Larsen, wife of
Sigmund Larsen, (SVP Ship Opderation)
was the Lady Sponsor of the vessel.
Victoria Ship Management, Japan will
be the ship manager for Bow Hector.
Facts:
Bow Hector has a deadweight of
33,694 ton and a cargo capacity
of 14 tanks and 2 slop tanks. The
service speed is 14.9 knots.

Sipicule Crèche in Mossel Bay
By: Mel Pinks
The crèche (kindergarden) was
originally started by Patricia Polakwane
in her home in Kwanonqaba,
Mosselbaai. As more children needed
to be catered for, she built on the tin
classroom. The crèche was discovered
by one of the local Rotarians who
managed to get the land from the
Mosselbay Municipality and then the
plans and fund raising started to bring
the crèche to that which it is today.
Odfjell (as well as others) have
supported this crèche for over a year,
an initiative by Kate Barker, the wife of
our “Loading Master” Guy Barker.

Christmas Bow Faith Style
By: Wiper David Jeremiah Pedrosa
For those who claim that spending
Christmas on board a ship is a sad way to
spend Christmas probably has not been
to Bow Faith…
Just like the Filipino icon Manny Pacquiao,
who trains for weeks before the actual
fight, on Bow Faith we also plan for
Christmas celebrations weeks before
Christmas. When Christmas comes,
everybody is excited. It’s like watching a
Pacman-De la hoya fight. Your heartbeat
goes faster, your eyes widen as the two
superstars enter the ring. You would
never blink and no disturbance can deter
your focus because you know that any
minute something big is going to happen.
Everybody knows that aside from being
hospitable, one characteristic that would
distinguish Filipinos from the rest is the
love of boxing as a sport.
In the middle of the table was my favourite,
roasted pig on a stick. The dinner setting
was unique because we all gathered
around the table with our plate and we
rotated in order for everybody to have their
chance of getting what they liked among
the delicious food.
After dinner, everyone went to the officer
and crew dayroom where two tables
awaited. One was full of candies and
chocolates and the other was the thing that
would complete our Christmas, beers!
When we thought that all surprises were
out of the box and the captain requested
the crew to gather and after a nice speech
….bang! He gave us the company gift, a cap
with a proud logo of our company and a
box that contained a wind-breaker jacket. It
brought a big smile to all our faces.
And that’s how we celebrated Christmas
onboard, Bow Faith style!
18:00 sharp! Round one began with dinner
for the Norwegian and Filipino crew. A
long table was arranged in the middle of
Norwegian and Filipino mess hall. The
menu included eye-widening lobster, cold
cuts, roasted chicken and a whole lot more.
... and Bow Singapore style
By: Captain Vincent Joy L. Ebal
On 24 December 2008 Bow Singapore
was doing tank cleaning operations at
Algas anchorage, Singapore. Everybody
was doing their best to finish the
tank cleaning to be able to celebrate
Christmas at berth. Fortunately, due to
an excellent team work by the engine
and deck departments, we managed
to get the vessel cleaned and passed
for loading all cargo tanks nominated
for Singapore. Just before midnight
of Christmas Eve we were alongside
the quay of our own Odfjell Oiltanking
Terminal Singapore.
This procedure was repeated at New
Year’s Eve in Kuantan, Malaysia where
24
we also managed to start celebrating
New Year before midnight.
Everybody was very excited both for
the Christmas Eve and the New Year
celebrations, and in particular when
receiving the nice Christmas present
from the company.
To be a seafarer is not easy especially
during the holidays when being far from
our loved ones. Only a present from
someone who cares, can eliminate the
homesickness we feel.
Honored by U.S. Coast Guard
On 30 January, 2009 Rear Admiral
Joel Whitehead, awarded the US Coast
Guard’s Public Service Commendation
to Capt. George Pontikos of Odfjell
Houston for services related to the
devastating storm, Hurricane Ike. In
this capacity Capt. Pontikos served on
the Sector Houston- Galveston Port
Advisory Team, and was instrumental in
prioritizing vessel movements in order
to safely and efficiently meet critical
needs and expedite restoration of
maritime commerce.
Odfjell is pleased to see such public
recognition of one of the many of our
employees who devoted so much effort
during Hurricane Ike
Visit onboard Bow Fortune
By: Sayed Akimu Phiri
During the vessel’s recent call to Durban
early December charterers FR Waring
requested permission to bring some of
their clients on board to show the stateof-the-art vessel that carried their part
parcel from Port Kelang for discharge in
Durban.
Arrangements were made with Capt.
Otto Vollan who invited the visitors
onboard for finger lunch and a short
tour of the vessel. Mr. Derrick Francis
expressed appreciation and thanks for
this service.

Odfjell Singapore family day
By: K. H. Tan
Family Day “Prawning” Outing! My
curiosity was awakened and after
speaking to our Social Committee
members, I realized that it was prawn
fishing. A great activity for family and
friends to have a fun time together at
Marina Country Club, Ponggol.
90 people (including 30 kids) was a very
good turnout for our first social event of
the year. Per Aksnes and Angela, Mike
Bevis, Henning Werner Nielsen and
family were among the guests, and we
had ample opportunity to mingle, catch
up and share a joke or two in a relaxing
environment.
Daryl, the owner of the prawn farm
demonstrated and shared his tricks
of “prawning”. Ronald was the first to
hook a prawn almost immediately after
the “prawn fishing” started. As for me, I
managed to hook two prawns within ten
minutes, not bad for a first timer!
The kids had their fair share of
excitement by catching small fish mainly guppies, a local breed found in
drains - from a separate pond.
Later, everyone enjoyed a delicious local
buffet and barbecue lunch, and
Atle Knutsen awarded prizes to the
winners of the games.
We thank the Social Committee
members for this successful and
enjoyable social gathering at the Marina
Country Club!
Norway’s Ambassador visits
Odfjell in Rotterdam

In February, the Norwegian Ambassador
to the Nederlands,
Mrs. Eva Bugge, and her secretary Mrs.
Renate Drubbel visited Odfjell Terminals
B.V in Rotterdam.
The Ambassador had requested the
opportunity to learn about Odfjell’s
activity in the area and if there were
areas where she could assist us in any
way going further forward with our
development in the region.
The Ambassador showed great interest
26
in our different businesses and after
a brief coffee meeting in Laurence
Odfjell’s office, the visitors were brought
across the road to Odfjell Terminals
Maritiem and the NCC Mekka for a
guided tour on board by Captain Oddvar
Rykke.
The visitors were impressed of the
vessels’ facilities and especially the
bridge and galley where they had a lot of
questions for the crew.

A trip of adventure and experience
By: Mel Pinks/John Wayne Ohlson
John Wayne Ohlson started working with
our agent Thembani Shipping at Mossel
Bay in mid 2007. In order to be fully
aware of what happens ashore as well as
onboard a vessel during transit, he joined
MT Bow Flora on the voyage between
the South African ports Mossel Bay and
Durban.
- I had the privilege of working directly
with the dedicated crew en route to
Durban. I was also assigned to daily duties
like washing the deck and handyworks.
Thanks to Capt. Tor Gilse Bjerknes and all
the others from Thembani Shipping and
Odfjell for giving me the opportunity to
sail with Bow Flora. It was a real honour
for me and an unforgettable experience,
says Mr. Ohlson.

Unannounced drill
By Captain Nordqvist M/T “Bow Summer”
As our seafarers know it is almost
impossible to get permission for
lifesaving drills by port authorities
around the world, such drills have
to be more or less performed if, and
when, the vessel is at anchor and/or the
circumstances allow it.
A nice Saturday in December our good
vessel was en route to Brownsville,
Texas, and according to ETA
requirements from Port & Pilot we had
to slow down the speed due to certain
draft/times on the ship channel.
Since Saturdays are normally drill-days
at sea, a couple of drills were performed
according to SMM, whereafter the crew
returned to their respective work.
Suddenly, an
unannounced general
alarm ‘Man over Board’
was released.
We are proud to say,
however, that from when
the alarm went off, our
crew managed to safely
bring the lost ‘crew
member’ back onboard
within 23 minutes. An
acceptable timeframe
under any condition.
Well done!

The Lady Sponsor’s oriental
cruise onboard Bow Firda
By: Gerd Kristiansen, Lady Sponsor of Bow Firda
After just a few weeks as a senior citizen
I accepted the generous invitation by
Odfjell and John Eirik Steffensen to a
“cruise” on board Bow Firda.
It all started late one afternoon
when I embarked Bow Firda when
anchoraged in Ulsan. I was met by
Captain Steffensen and his crew and it
was wonderful to meet all my good old
friends again as well as getting to know
the new seamen. After having been
lodged in a really nice cabin, the three
weeks “cruise” could begin.
A storm and rough waters was
forecasted but it was nice warm
weather, sun and smooth sailing during
the whole voyage. With several port
calls like MaiLiao, Kaoshiung, Bintulu
and Singapore it really gave me the
opportunity to get around.
But for me, the voyage and the days
onboard Bow Firda were the ultimate
joy. Spending the daytime on deck, at
the bridge watching the navigators,
(especially when we had pilots on
board), and visiting the engine room.
By the way, I could have used white
gloves without getting a spot on them as
the cleanliness all over the vessel was
remarkable.
My warmest thanks goes to all the
people onboard, for letting me feel so
welcome, for small talks during the
coffee breaks, friendly and pleasant first
class meals, and last but not least to
everybody that made this trip come true.
The memories will forever have a very
special place in my heart.
