Onshore and Offshore: The New Maritime Norway

Stig Tenold

Chapter 9 in Norwegian Shipping in the 20th Century, 2019, pp 259-274 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract At the end of the 20th century Norway had a very vibrant shipping sector. Tenold shows that the manner in which it is organized has changed substantially. Deep-sea shipping is practically completely manned by foreigners, and there has also been an increase in multinational ownership. The industry has become professionalized and more like other industries. In addition to the traditional merchant marine, Norway had the world’s second largest fleet of oil rigs and supply vessels, operating all over the world. In contrast to most other European countries, Norway—together with Denmark and Greece—managed to maintain a substantial shipping industry despite the tendency for such activities to “go East” by relocating to Asia.
