Petter C. G. Sundt

Petter Christian Grüner Sundt (9 April 1945 – 28 November 2007) was a Norwegian shipping magnate and businessman.

Together with his cousin Morten Sig. Bergesen, in 1976 he took over the leadership of Bergesen d.y. after his grandfather Sigval Bergesen d.y. retired for health reasons. As a result of that, other members of the family wanted to sell their shares in the company. 10 years later Morten Bergesen and Petter Sundt took over ownership control and listed the company. They controlled the company until they sold it to the Sohmen-Pao family in 2003.

Sundt received two billion Norwegian krone (approximately 368 million USD) for his shares in Bergesen d.y.

Sundt died of cancer 28 November 2007.
