This year, we took Ankeri's annual celebration of Árshátíð to the next level by gathering in Sitges, Spain with the Ankeri team!

We understand that the “árshátíð” is more than just a corporate event; it's a cherished Icelandic tradition that brought us closer as colleagues. Árshátíð, 2024 was a special occasion for Ankeri, as we welcomed new members into our team and enjoyed the company of them and their families.

Sitges, a charming town just 35 km southwest of Barcelona, provided the perfect setting for our festivities. With its rich history, cultural landmarks, scenic beaches, and great food, the town captivated us all. Our Spanish-themed dinner on April 13, Saturday was a highlight of the weekend, as we embraced the local culture and indulged in delicious cuisine.

As we reflect on this unforgettable experience, we're excited about the journey ahead. With a shared commitment to leveraging data and technology for the betterment of the shipping industry, Team Ankeri is ready to tackle new challenges and achieve our goals together!

Ankeri was awarded the Maritime Startup of the Year 2022 at SMM Hamburg last September, in a competition held by . The trophy was a beautiful whale statue. We found it fitting for the trophy to travel home by sea. Our friends in Eimskip offered safe passage on Brúarfoss.

Now the whale is in our HQ in Reykjavik Iceland, providing inspiration on our journey to continue to create good software for shipping, delivering value to our customers while helping to reduce shipping's negative environmental footprint.

Big thank you to the organisers Annett John, Carsten Bullemer, HANSA - International Maritime Journal, Eimskip, Ulla Eithz Nielsen for handing us the awards and everyone that made this happen.
