SHIPPING AND SHIP MANAGEMENT
Eitzen Bulk, Western Bulk, etc. The openhatch
forest products market is dominated
by Gearbulk and Star Shipping, the reefer
market by NYKLauritzenCool and Swan
Shipping (with a Norwegian link), and
Limarko, Holy House and Green Reefers as
important players. K G Jebsen is the leading
cement transportation company in the
world. Stena Line, DFDS, Transatlantic,
UECC, Unifeeder and the Rettig group are
among the leading unit freight operators
in Northern Europe. The offshore support
sector has a strong Scandinavian participation.
Even foreign shipping companies have
seen the potential in the NBSR community.
World-Wide and Teekay have taken
strong positions in Norway, Grimaldi taking
ACL and Finnlines, Wagenborg buying
Transfennica, Esco going to Norwegians
and Lisco to DFDS. French and American
owners have taken stakes in the Norwegian
offshore fleet.
Also in sectors like ship management,
crewing, ship supply and port agencies,
companies of Scandinavian origin or
ownership hold strong international positions.
Among the shipping banks DnB and
Nordea rank as the leading; the Scandina-
vian position in marine insurance is even
stronger, some 20–25 per cent of the global
market.
commercial position
Building on the available information on
the domicile of the shipping companies,
which hold severe discrepancies, as much
as 85 million DWT of ships may be attributed
to Nordic owners. In addition, large
fleets of foreign-owned ships are being
operated commercially on time charter
or pool basis, particularly by the bulk and
product tanker groups. Together, at least
150 million DWT is being controlled by
Nordic-related companies; about 15 per
cent of the global fleet.
Over the last three years, Nordic owners
have invested an approximate of USD
50 billion in new and secondhand ships,
according to our own records. These testify
to bold ambitions.
visible owners
Much of the strength in the shipping infrastructure
in our area is the entrepreneurial
factor, the strong involvement by visible
owners and the comparatively open access
to a dynamic market. The combination of

large integrated groups with medium-sized
companies and a fair undergrowth of aspiring
owners promises well for the continued
growth of the shipping industry.
And most importantly, the newfound
cooperation across the NBSR has been a
tremendous stimulant for our maritime
industries. It has opened new trade flows,
access to low-cost production and labour
as well as a market for products and jobs.
Much has been achieved in 15 years; more
is to be achieved by using the networks for
the further development in the future.
