The announcement was made by Helgi Anton Eiriksson, the bank's executive vice president, this week at the Global Groundfish Forum in Bergen, Norway.

After his address Wednesday, Eriksson told IntraFish seafood is one of several niche segments and accounts for less than 10 percent of the Iceland-based bank’s commitments.

In addition to seafood, Glitnir’s main global businesses are renewable and sustainable energy, and offshore service vessels.

“Seafood is our largest single segment, and as a bank we consider Iceland and Norway to be our largest single markets,” said Eiriksson.
