Biography

He worked as a naval architect for Ulstein Group (beginning in 1964)[3] and then after its acquisition for Rolls-Royce, where he was chief naval architect from 1970 to 2006.[4] In 1974 he designed one of the first Norwegian offshore supply ships. He is known for the concept of UT-Design, the basis of numerous off-shore vessels of varying sub-types.[5][6][7][8] He was responsible for the construction of more than 600 vessels, of which 500 used UT-Design,[4][5] including the Abeille Bourbon salvage tug.[9]
