LOOK TONORWAYNorway is home to the most complete maritime cluster in the world, with every part of the value chain represented – from shipowners to shipbuilders, from shipbrokers and classification societies to technology providers.

This results in unique multi-party collaborations, innovation and competence – all of which are on display at Nor-Shipping.

At the heart of it all is the Nor-Shipping exhibition.It showcases 22,000 square meters of the best and latest in maritime technology, services and solutions spread across six halls.

An easy-to-navigate layout featuring national pavilions, industry segments and “theme parks” optimizes the experience for both exhibitors and visitors.

A PREMIUM EXHIBITION

Many of the best business relationships are begun outside traditional meeting rooms. Nor-Shipping provides an unbeatable arena for professional networking and socializing.

Exhibition and conference delegates also use Nor-Shipping’s online community, both prior to and after the event, to share news and discuss hot topics.

NETWORKTHE SOCIAL

Established more than 50 years ago, Nor-Shipping is now a weeklong, activity-filled event that attracts key maritime industry players from across the world.

The presence of leading figures from the entire maritime value chain makes Nor-Shipping a recognized arena for strategic deal making and networking.

While the event’s profile has grown in every way imaginable, participants do not get lost in the crowd.

JOIN THE LEADERS

To encourage the industry’s development, Nor-Shipping provides a wealth of opportunities for showcasing new concepts, new technology and best practices.

Innovative leaders meet their peers to share sneak peeks into the future. “What’s next?” is a question on everyone’s lips.

FUTUREFOCUS

WHAT’S NEXT?

As a knowledge event, Nor-Shipping provides a platform for sharing ideas – problem solving through cutting-edge technology is key. We make this even more visible via the Nor-Shipping Awards, which reward advanced environmental and innovative success.

A new initiative scheduled for the 2013 event is Innovation Park, where companies with relevant solutions or products present themselves.

The sharing continues online with our new website nextgenerationshipping.com, where the maritime community presents new products and services.

Norway builds and supplies some of the most advanced vessels in the world. As this is particularly true for the offshore segment, offshore shipping gets its own focus during Nor-Shipping week.

WORLD-CLASS CONFERENCESIndustry heavyweights and rising stars are keen to secure a place on stage at the Nor-Shipping conferences. Audiences and press eagerly await their insights.

The 2011 conference included presentations and roundtable discussions by an impressive list of VIPs, including Petrobras’s José Sergio Gabrielli and Frontline’s Tor Olav Trøim.

CONFERENCES

Kicking-off the event week, the Nor-Shipping Opening Conference captures the audience’s attention with hot-topic presentations by industry leaders and lively roundtable discussions with their peers. Next Generation Shipping is the theme, as future opportunities are explored from multiple angles.

In acknowledgement of the important role offshore shipping plays in the global maritime industry, Nor-Shipping established Agenda Offshore in 2011.

The conference presents this growing segment’s newsmakers with a stage to highlight and debate its issues and opportunities. It is natural that such an event be held in Norway – today home to the world’s second largest fleet of offshore vessels.

AWARDINGEXCELENCE

To further encourage quality work and to profile role models, Nor-Shipping has long supported the public recognition of industry excellence.

For 2013, the award program includes the Energy Efficiency Award (previously the Clean Ship Award), the Next Generation Ship Award and the Young Entrepreneur Award. The winners are announced at the Nor-Shipping Opening Conference.

Nor-Shipping works to enhance the maritime industry’s reputation and to position it for the future.

Ocean Talent Camp, a hands-on exhibition located in Oslo city center throughout the event week, is a prime example. Promoting the maritime world to the general public, it also actively engages young people so as to encourage them towards a career in the industry.

SOCIALHOT-SPOTNumerous social events happen during Nor-Shipping week. With Nor-Shipping Island, many of these will take place in the same area – Oslo’s hip and centrally located Tjuvholmen. Thanks to so many maritime players rubbing elbows, this should take the networking Nor-Shipping is known for to a completely new level.

NEWGENERATION

Young professionals are an integral part of the Nor-Shipping mix, and this will be visible like never before at the 2013 event.

Developed via partnership with the non-profit organization YoungShip, the Young @ Nor-Shipping program will offer seminars, company presentations, social events and more. Included in this is the launch of the Young Entrepreneur Award, which will publicly recognize an innovative, under-40 leader. HOT-SPOT

FINANCE +VENTUREMaritime investors, along with entrepreneurs and growth companies, are part of the maritime value chain. The new initiative Nor-Shipping Venture increases the synergies between them by providing finance professionals and capital hungry maritime companies the opportunity to pair up, network and showcase themselves.

Oslo is one of the top five global maritime capitals, shoulder-to-shoulder with Singapore, London, Hamburg and Hong Kong, as confirmed by current research. But nowhere in the world has a maritime cluster as complete as that of Oslo.

The city is particularly known as a hub for shipowners and shipping operation, maritime finance, law, insurance, technology and service suppliers.

ONE OFFIVE

Nor-Shipping is the leading maritime event week. Its top-quality exhibition, high-level conferences and prime networking opportunities attract the cream of the international maritime industry to Oslo every other year.
