The Full-Rigged Ship Sorlandet Non-Profit Foundation: The Full-Rigged Ship Sørlandet

The homeport of the SØRLANDET is the city of Kristiansand in the South of Norway, where also the administration office is based. The administration handles all operational matters such as chartering, planning of annual open cruises made available for the general public, booking of paying trainees, advertising, engaging the ships' crew, dry dockings, purchases and book-keeping, and not at least necessary cooperation with official bodies and organisations within the International Tall Ships' environment.

The SØRLANDET has a capacity to take on board 70 people as trainees. Separately she has a crew of 15 officers and seamen during the sailing season, which generally is from May to September; should we not be engaged in a longer project. During the months when she is laid up, some few crew members remain on board for general maintenance. 4 persons are working in the administration office throughout the year.
