Nor-Shipping is a maritime trade fair that has been held in Norway biennially since 1965. It is where the leading players from maritime, tech, finance and wider business segments from all over the world, cross paths to learn from one another, forge partnerships, and access new economic value creation. Nor-Shipping operates as a hub for international decision makers from both the private and public spheres. This is where shipowners and operators mix with politicians, equipment suppliers, NGOs, innovators, investors, business leaders and a broad range of ocean stakeholders in a unique environment designed to enable deals, build relationships and spread knowledge.

Nor-Shipping has been an activity-filled arena attracting key maritime industry players from across the world. The presence of leading heads from the entire maritime value chain and press, makes Nor-Shipping one of the world’s most recognized meeting places for strategic deal making and networking. Many of the best business relationships begin outside traditional meeting rooms. Nor-Shipping provides an unbeatable arena for professional networking and socializing.

Every second year Norges Varemesse’s renowned exhibition facility welcomes the global maritime and ocean industries to Lillestrøm, near Oslo. Here delegates and visitors can gain first-hand experience of the products, services and companies that will help drive a new age of ocean business development. Nor-Shipping’s 21,000 square metre exhibition space is the beating heart of the week’s activity. This is where delegates and visitors can experience the products, services and companies that will help drive a new age of ocean industry development. This is the place for discovery, innovation and building key partnerships. Across the specially themed halls, grouping exhibitors together to ensure simple orientation, you’ll experience cutting edge technology, ground-breaking ways of working, and a mixture of the very biggest players alongside smaller start-ups with huge ideas. In fact, it’s more of an ambition, rather than exhibition, space.

The world is looking to the oceans. As populations, consumer activity and energy demand rise people require new solutions, from new arenas. Maritime is central to realizing the huge potential on, above and below the waves – driving trade, enabling new industries and keeping the business world turning. Nor-Shipping is the platform for sustainable ocean development, helping leading maritime players plot profitable courses into the future. Spiced with many topical high-level conferences designed to enable change plus a dynamic after-work festival, Nor-Shipping provides an invaluable combination of insight, business opportunities and social networking.
