A Brief Introduction to Norwegian Shipping

Stig Tenold

Chapter 1 in Norwegian Shipping in the 20th Century, 2019, pp 1-20 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract During the 20th century Norway became one of the wealthiest countries in the world. At the same time, Norwegian shipping companies remained competitive in international seaborne transport—perhaps the world’s most global industry. Tenold explains Norwegian competitiveness in international shipping by analyzing the development at four different levels: the international, the national, the regional and the shipping company level. For more than 150 years Norwegian ships and shipping companies have played an important international role, transporting cargoes between foreign countries. On average, the Norwegian share of the world fleet in the 20th century has been around 6 per cent.
