Vienna, Austria (pta013/25.09.2025/11:30 UTC+2)
- Nordic Endeavor 2026 will row the Norwegian coastline to raise money for a maritime charity while also cleaning polluted waters
- Frequentis has funded the team and boat, with other sponsors contributing equipment to ensure a safe expedition
- Fundraising launched with a maiden row and clean-up of Oslo Fjord at Lågøya island on 20 September
- One of the team is Norwegian Olympic Athlete, Martin Helseth, who has collected over 50 tonnes of litter from the fjords since 2019
Frequentis is proud to be supporting Nordic Endeavour 2026, a coastal rowing expedition that will see two Brits and two Norwegians raise funds for volunteer maritime rescue charities while taking part in freediving clean ups of the fjords on route. One of the team is Norwegian Olympic Athlete, Martin Helseth, who is passionate about preserving the oceans through his freediving plastic cleanup initiatives, having collected over 50 tonnes of litter from the fjords since 2019.
"The Nordic Endeavour 2026 will take us on a 6-8-week journey from the Norway's northern border to Oslo, navigating thousands of islands and challenging conditions along the way," says Josh, Glyn and Martin, from the crew of Nordic Endeavor. "We're delighted to have Frequentis sponsoring the boat and making it possible for the project to get on the water. We also see Frequentis as the safety umbrella watching over the challenge."
With Frequentis communication technology already connecting vessels and maritime control rooms in the region, the mission is fully in line with the company's maritime vision for ensuring safety at sea, and protecting the maritime environment, making the project particularly meaningful.
To kick off the campaign, the boat was launched for the first time on 20 September to take part in a training exercise with Norwegian maritime volunteer charity, Redningsselskapet, and a clean-up row around Lågøya Island on the Oslo Fjord. This also marked the first time the crew rowed together and demonstrated the project's sustainability aims, clearing rubbish whilst free diving in challenging weather.
"Frequentis is pleased to be supporting this important mission, which is fully in line with our maritime vision for saving lives at sea, ensuring the safety of navigation, and protecting the maritime environment," says Oliver Ossege, Managing Director Frequentis Norway. "As a provider of mission-critical communications, Frequentis systems already cover the entire Norwegian coastline, enabling direct links between vessels, search and rescue (SAR) teams, and maritime control centres, including those used by Redningsselskapet. In an emergency, this technology allows SAR crews to pinpoint exact positions and rapidly deploy assistance, keeping those at sea, including the Nordic Endeavour, safe."
Charting the course for 2026
Looking ahead, the crew will continue to prepare for the full Nordic Endeavour 2026 coastal row of almost 3000km, with further clean-up operations and a strong fundraising campaign to support maritime charities. As part of the expedition, alongside clean-up operations, the crew will be collecting water samples, recording wildlife, gathering environmental data, working with scientists and local communities to understand and reduce the impact of human activity on Norway's coastline.
The expedition will be tracked live via ZeroSixZero, providing digital mapping of the boat's progress along Norway's coastline. Images, footage, or wildlife records and clean-up dives can also be linked to the exact location on the map, allowing the public to follow the expedition's progress and impact online.
About Nordic Endeavour
Nordic Endeavour is a rowing expedition set for 2026, in which a mixed British–Norwegian crew will take on a 3,000km journey from the Russian border to Oslo. Over 6–8 weeks, the team will navigate thousands of islands, challenging seas, and unpredictable weather to highlight the importance of protecting our oceans.
Led by adventurers Glynn Sadler, Josh Halley, and Martin Helseth, the mission goes beyond endurance. Along the route, the crew will collect water samples, monitor wildlife, record environmental data, and work with scientists and communities to clean up fjords impacted by pollution.
The project raises funds for maritime charities, ensuring support for maritime volunteers who save lives at sea. Preparations launched with a maiden row and Oslo Fjord clean-up in September 2025, where the crew tested the boat together for the first time.
