After Norway was liberated from German occupation in 1945, he worked for a period with the United Maritime Authority (Nortraship) in London.\u00a0From there, he moved to New York in 1946 to study at Columbia University and graduated two years later with a BA in business administration. Jebsen worked as a shipbroker in New York, Paris and London until he joined the family shipping company, Kristian Jebsens Rederi AS, in 1953. He made a major contribution to its modernisation, and played a key role in the development of bulk carriers.<\/p>\n<p>After starting on his own in 1967 with KGJS, he built up a worldwide business which today includes the ownership and operation of 110 ships.<\/p>\n<p>KGJS remains a family-owned company, and currently embraces the following activities: SKS OBO &amp; Tankers, KGJ Cement and KGJS Ship Management.\u00a0In addition, the family is the majority shareholder in Gearbulk Holding Ltd, with Japan\u2019s Mitsui-OSK Lines as its partner and co-shareholder.<br \/>\nThe KGJ group\u2019s investment activities outside shipping are handled by Jebsen Asset Management.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"header left  \"><h2 class=\"font-size-sm\" title=\"The establishment of the foundation in the honor of Kristian Gerhard Jebsen\u2019s memory\" >The establishment of the foundation in the honor of Kristian Gerhard Jebsen\u2019s memory<\/h2><\/div>[vc_column_text]Jebsen\u2019s family has wished to honour his memory and his contribution to Norwegian and international shipping and business.<br \/>\nAccordingly, Aud Jebsen took the initiative in 2009 to create Stiftelsen Kristian Gerhard Jebsen, which she established together with her three sons.<\/p>\n<p>The Foundation contacts potential partners itself.
