Lockton Norway strengthens its Emerging Opportunities offering with hire of Stein Halstensen

Lockton Norway continues to strengthen its position within emerging opportunities with the appointment of Stein Halstensen as Biological Risk Specialist.

The newly established role reflects Lockton’s commitment to proactively identifying existing and emerging risks and further developing both new and existing insurance markets and solutions. Through this strategic investment, the company aims to deliver enhanced value to clients and prospects across the aquaculture sector.

Stein will play a key part in advancing Lockton’s ability to combine deep aquaculture expertise with traditional insurance capabilities and innovative solutions. This integrated approach enables more tailored, forward‑looking risk management strategies for clients operating in a complex environment.

Sjur Hille Olsen, Head of Strategic Growth & Emerging Opportunities, Lockton Norway, said: “This appointment is part of our long-term strategy to build specialised capabilities in areas where our clients face increasing complexity and risk.

“By bringing in specialised biological expertise, we strengthen our ability to identify and quantify risk, develop innovative solutions and support our clients with insight that goes well beyond traditional insurance.”

Stein will be based in Bergen and joins Lockton from Grieg Seafood, where he most recently held responsibility for planning through the value chain, production optimisation, and risk assessments. He holds a Master of Science degree from NTNU, with a specialisation in aquaculture.

This appointment underscores Lockton Norway’s ambition to deliver highly targeted, innovative, and client‑driven services, while further strengthening its position as a trusted advisor within the rapidly evolving aquaculture industry.
