Oslo - a global maritime capital

Norway's maritime industry is built on the expertise gained from centuries as a shipping nation, with Oslo at the main centre. Maritime companies locate in Oslo to be part of a complete and innovative cluster of shipping companies and a range of specialised maritime services. For investors and partners, the strength and the international position of the maritime cluster in Oslo offers many attractive opportunities.
