The Business Sector`s NOx FundFrom highway to seaway
The short sea shipowners transport all types of goods and passengers between ports within a continent: flat screens from Frankfurt to Oslo, containers of shoes from Italy to London or passengers from Oslo to Kiel. Transport between ports in Norway is defined as short sea. Local shipping and foreign shipping along the Norwegian coast are also called short sea. Local shipping is a central part of the government’s maritime strategy “Steady Course”. The Shipowners’ Association and the Short Sea Group are currently devising a strategy for local shipping.

A smaller, yet more effective harbor pilotage system
New regulations for harbor pilots became effective 1. January 2011. Many years of work and research preceded the new regulations, but unfortunately the regulations have not turned out to be an enhancement of the old system. For many they constitute a step backwards since they result in a larger number of areas where pilotage is mandatory and as such create a cost increase. We wish to enhance the pilotage service and will do this based on a thorough review of the existing conditions, coupled with extensive analysis regarding the need for competence and safety.
