The numbers say it all. One of the five largest fleets in the world. A 10% share of the offshore-related supply sector. Eight to ten percent of the global ship’s gear market. From the traditions picked up through centuries of shipping activities – including some of the best cold-weather competence and ship’s gear equipment available – to the present and future-oriented achievements in the areas of maritime IT applications, maritime trainee programmes and legislation, the Norwegian shipping industry exudes excellence and quality in all disciplines.
