Little Norway making big green waves?

How can we continue to use our unique knowledge of the ocean and technical expertise to make waves and drive changes on a global scale? This is one of the most important issues facing the Norwegian shipping industry.

With a population of only 5 million, Norway’s shipping fleet is measured to be the fourth largest in the world. With our natural resources and strategic closeness to the sea, how can we continue to use our unique knowledge of the ocean and technical expertise to make waves and drive changes on a global scale?

The NHH Shipping Conference has long been regarded as an important meeting point for shipping-related business and academia.

In cooperation with Bergen Shipowners’ Association and Maritime Bergen, “The NHH Shipping Conference – LeaderShip” has been created. This is a conference where decision makers in “the blue business” will meet to exchange knowledge and increase their learning for the common good. This week, the conference took place in Bergen.
