A Smarter Nor-Shipping

We believe that a major goal of Nor-Shipping is to aid commerce, contact and communication in our industry. With that in mind, we’ve restructured the floor plan of Nor-Shipping for 2009. Along with the familiar national pavilions (which will – in large part – remain in the same location), we launch five thematic halls, each with a media partner.

The thematic halls:
• Electronics, communication and navigation, hosted by Marine Electronics & Communication (Hall B)
• Safety, hosted by Safety@Sea (Hall C)
• Yards and classification, hosted by Fairplay (Hall D)
• Propulsion, machinery and equipment, hosted by Marine Propulsion (Hall E), and
• Maritime services, ports and logistics, hosted by Lloyd’s List (also Hall E)

Nor-Shipping 2009 offers 20 percent more floor space than the previous exhibition, thanks to a large, new hall. Even with this extended capacity, the event is almost fully booked.

We hope that you find the restructured Nor-Shipping a smarter Nor-Shipping, and an easier place to do business, meet your contacts and share ideas. Come to Nor-Shipping 2009 and join the leaders!

Where: Oslo, Norway

When: June 9-12, 2009

green-ship-technology-2009 conference

Tuesday 24th – Wednesday 25th March 2009
Le Royal Meridien, Hamburg

Lloyd’s List events’ 6th annual Green Ship Technology conference, taking place in Hamburg in 2009, is a must-attend event for the shipping industry where participants can exchange ideas and experiences, and keep up-to-date on technical and legislative developments, in plenary sessions, break-out sessions and in the informal networking breaks.

There is increasing intolerance for any kind of ship source pollution, and international regulations are becoming more and more stringent, in particular for all types of ships’ emissions. Partnered with the high and rising cost of fuel, shipping companies and related industries are continuing to develop new, greener, technologies to deal with the issues of air emissions, fuel management, waste management, ballast water management, oily water/sludge waste removal and ship recycling. The drive for competitiveness, accompanied by concern for the environment, will continue to drive forward technological innovation and research in the maritime industry.

In today’s world, environmental and economic objectives go hand-in-hand: this conference is your opportunity to hear about these new technologies and discuss the potential for sustainable ship operations, from design and build through to recycling. Discuss new ideas with your industry peers on the latest research and find out where technology is going and what has been achieved so far.

oslo-shipping-forum-2009

Designed and produced for shipping CEO’s from listed and private shipping companies, brokers, key investors in shipping, bankers and entrepreneurs. The forum has become a regular fixture in the Norwegian shipping calendar since it first introduced in year 2005.

Booming offshore sectors, building the world’s massive orderbook, finding finance in the tight debt market and predicting the future for bulkers and tankers – these were key issues at the 4th Oslo Shipping Forum.

“All the easy oil is gone,” said FloaTEC president Eric Namtvedt, explaining the prospects for the offshore industry and how the hunt for new reserves and the high price of oil is driving the sector. DVB Bank global head for offshore Geir Sjurseth echoed Namtvedt’s views on the financing side.

“I think 2008 will be looked at as the best year ever in dry bulksince World War Two,” said speaker Sverre Bjorn Svenning of Fearnley Consultants. And he says the wet side can thank the Hebei Spirit accident for putting the final nail in the coffin for single-hull tankers.

Opinion on the orderbook was divided into two camps. “We believe in delays, maybe even massive delays, but we expect most of the ships to be built,” said Svenning. The other camp came out especially strong when David Roberts of Fortis and Anthony Zolotas of Eurofin described the credit troubles in the market: how as much as 50% of the $600bn orderbook still lacks financing.

Arild Nodland, founder of the Bergen Risk Solutions, spoke at length on piracy and geopolitical tension. The former United Nations and European Union advisor has master’s degree in international studies and risk analysis and a military background with Nato. Nodland pointed out that one of the biggest factors for geopolitical tension is the presidential elections in the US.

Morits Skaugen Jr, chief executive of IM Skaugen and chairman of the Oslo Maritime Network, served as forum chairman. Grieg International chief executive Elisabeth Grieg, who is also the president of the Norwegian Shipowner’s Association, was the keynote speaker.
