The Second World War

Stig Tenold

Chapter 5 in Norwegian Shipping in the 20th Century, 2019, pp 133-158 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract During the Second World War the Norwegian merchant marine was organized in Nortraship—the world’s largest shipping company—where shipowners and bureaucrats together ensured efficient use of tonnage. The Norwegian fleet played an extremely important role in the outcome of the war, and there were great losses of ships and seafarers. In addition to presenting the organization of Norwegian shipping during the Second World War and the subsequent rebuilding of the fleet, Tenold discusses the treatment of the war sailors after peace had returned—a far less glorious chapter in Norway’s maritime history.
