Nor-Shipping is the world’s leading maritime event week and has provided a global arena to help position the industry for the future. It offers a week packed with quality activities – an exhibition, conferences, seminars, parties, prime networking opportunities and more.

This year, Nor-Shipping is going to take place in June 01-05 in Oslo. The week of activities focusing on Brazil is being organized by the Brazilian Association of Norwegian Shipowners (ABRAN), the Norwegian Shipowners’ Association (NSA), the Norwegian Brazilian Chamber of Commerce (NBCC), the Brazilian Norwegian Chamber of Commerce (BNCC), INTSOK, Innovation Norway and the Confederation of Norwegian Enterprise (NHO).

“It is the first time that NBCC will participate in an international event like this. We have never sent delegations to Norway, so it´s about time, and we are forming a strong team, with representatives from important players in the Brazilian market. I believe that Brazil has to be present at these international events, and I also believe the event will be a success. It is also important that Brazilian players see how Nor-Shipping works – this great exchange of information and technology, and when Nor-Shipping is honoring us with a separate event, we have to do our part, participate and bring with us important market representatives. We are working closely with ABRAN, NSA, BNCC and others in the planning of the events. The Consulate General in Rio has been an important support, and Innovation Norway is also participating actively”, NBCC president Camila Mendes Vianna says.

In recent years, the shipping and offshore business in Brazil has had increased visibility at Nor-Shipping, especially since 2011 when the CEO of Petrobras was a headliner at Nor-Shipping’s Agenda Offshore conference. The participation of Brazil at Nor-Shipping 2015 will enhance the attractiveness of the country’s market to foreign investors, presenting a clear and transparent picture of its challenges and immense opportunities.
