This document provides an update on the Norwegian shipbuilding market. It notes that Norway is a world leader in offshore oil and gas, exporting large quantities of oil and gas. A major new oil field, Johan Sverdrup, is projected to generate substantial tax and economic benefits for Norway over 50 years. The maritime sector saw few new supply vessel orders in 2016 but over 140 other vessel orders, including contracts for offshore service and wind vessels. Norwegian shipyards continue to diversify and have secured various ferry, cruise, and specialized vessel contracts. The outlook for the Norwegian maritime industry in 2017 and beyond remains positive.
