Answer

Olav V was made responsible for the welfare of the Norwegian merchant Fleet in 1942. This was because the Norwegian merchant fleet was vital to the Allied war effort, and Olav V was seen as a symbol of Norwegian resistance to the Nazi occupation. The merchant fleet was responsible for transporting supplies and troops to Allied forces, and also for evacuating refugees from occupied Norway.
