Why the USA Partnership Pavilion
|
The shipping industry has a long tradition in the Nordic Countries and is crucial for their countless economic activities. The Nordic states are heavily dependent on sea transportation to import and export goods and commodities. Marine ports, in Sweden alone, handle about 90 percent of the country’s international trade, amounting to roughly 169 million metric tons. In Norway, the shipping industry is one of the most important industries and is a significant contributor to value creation and employment in large parts of the country. Norway is the world’s fifth largest shipping nation contributing to the total value of the world fleet by an estimated 1.5 billion. The economic forecast for the shipping industry is positive with an increased demand for ships, increased activity in the logistics chain and easier access to capital. U.S. maritime technology and service suppliers have found the Norwegian market well worth exploring for exports and joint ventures for several reasons. A major technology transfer is taking place, from offshore oil and gas to other maritime areas. Developing an array of new applications based on world leading offshore energy solutions opens for companies to participate. Offshore oil and gas technology is a foundation for many cutting-edge aquaculture and ocean farming projects, set up to deal with sustainability challenges such as sea lice, big waves, fish escapes, and pollution. Norway is dependent on input in practically all parts of the maritime value chain, and U.S. companies have found themselves relevant and welcomed. Zero emission maritime transport is generating opportunities for a growing eco system. Short sea ship owners have already adopted new propulsion systems for many vessels on the coast, mainly using battery technology. Most of the 200+ ferries will soon be emission free. Concepts for autonomous shipping is being developed, or commissioned, such as “sea buses” but also unmanned container ships such as Yara Birkeland, already in operation. Deep sea shipping is next, with several concepts under testing, including biogas, hydrogen, and most notably, ammonia. Development in these areas require input form many high-tech disciplines internationally. The USA Partnership Pavilion at Nor Shipping builds on America's equity in Scandinavia and Kallman Worldwide's experience in this industry to help you meet more buyers, decision-makers and influencers. In addition to our suite of end-to-end exhibitor services, the upcoming edition of the Pavilion will feature a new turnkey stand design and materials, a robust delegation program, close collaboration with in-country and regional U.S. Commercial Service representatives to facilitate business introductions and meetings, to celebrate the American presence with attending maritime professionals. We look forward helping you reach your marketing goals in Norway this June. |

"I’ve never received such great support at a show! International shows have their added challenges, and Kallman clearly knows how to adapt and take care of the booth teams in attendance. We’ve had numerous comments from the upper management on the great booth design. All agree the custom work you did was perfect in showcasing our products and services. Looking forward to working more shows together! Thank you to you and your team."
