Japanese exchanges students Yota Sasada and Kenta Kowatari, and USN students as well as faculty members attended the Nor-Shipping 2025 industry conference event.

Nor-Shipping 2025 marked the 60th anniversary of one of the world’s most influential maritime industry gatherings. Held in Oslo and Lillestrøm, the event served as a strategic global arena where shipowners, technology providers, policymakers, and researchers met to shape the future of ocean industries.

Its significance lies in its role as a catalyst for innovation, sustainability, and cross-sector collaboration—particularly in areas such as decarbonization, digitalization, autonomous shipping, and maritime AI. For stakeholders across the maritime ecosystem, Nor-Shipping is not just a trade fair, but a key platform for setting agendas, forming partnerships, and driving industry transformation.
