A large British aircraft carrier is currently sailing into the Oslo Fjord, marking a notable event for the capital. This comes as the nation also grapples with significant economic shifts, including the bankruptcy of Balder Bulk, Norway's largest dry bulk carrier, due to contract losses, rising diesel costs, and tightening credit.
