In the last 30 years how do you see the industry has changed? How has your company adapted to these changes? As an organization, NME represents a broad range of industry stakeholders, so it is difficult to generalize. However, in my point of view, the industry has become increasingly digitalized and automated, especially within manufacturing, design, production and operations.  For NME, the digitalization of sales and marketing, such as increased use of social media platforms, represents a big challenge. These new marketing models have changed how companies interact with customers, suppliers and the press. For trade shows, there is a…

Jotun has maintained its number one position in marine coatings despite the “horrific” market conditions of the past few years: adapting, evolving and building to stay ahead. Now, says CEO Morten Fon, with what appears to be “light at the end of the tunnel”, the company is well positioned to consolidate that leadership. Morten Fon is smiling. Nothing unusual about that, you may think, given the affable nature of the long-term Jotun chief (soon to be celebrating 30 years with the business, with the last 13 as CEO). However, what makes this flash of enamel noteworthy is its display during…

Nor-Shipping Logo The media is under attack, from above and below. Leaders cry ‘fake news’, social media steals revenues, and audiences evolve, turning backs on traditional channels to click, pinch and swipe across a sea of tailored data. Can the maritime media survive in this climate and, hold the front page, do we really need it to? Tradewinds Editor-in-Chief Julian Bray tells the story of his industry. “All of humanity is in shipping,” asserts Julian Bray from his desk at the Tradewinds editorial base in London. “The tragedies, the triumphs, the highs, the lows, the love, the loss, and, of…

Omsetningen ventes å gå fra 14 millioner kroner i fjor til 1,7 milliarder kroner i 2019.   -Det har på mange måter vært en ørkenvandring i mange år, men i år har det tatt voldsomt av, sier adm. direktør og en av gründerne i Clean Marine, Nils Høy-Petersen.  Det norske selskapet produserer systemer som kan rense eksos fra skip, såkalte scrubbere, og har hatt en relativt beskjeden tilværelse på Lysaker utenfor Oslo.

Shipping is waking up to a new digital age, and two of the most important issues within the maritime transport system, where digitalisation is creating increased opportunity for development and innovation, are operational efficiency and safety. Much has been made of new and improved integrated platforms designed to influence both of these key elements, and in the last 12 months we have seen various stakeholders launching "ecosystems" designed to improve integration and thus drive both efficiency and safety; between the various systems on-board, from ship to shore, as well as between different onshore devices.

Næringsliv og offentlig forvaltning preges nå av økende digitalisering. Det fører til at virksomhetene blir mer effektive og lønnsomme, men også til en økende fare for at virksomheter kan settes ut av spill eller lide betydelige tap. Det er mange eksempler på at bedrifter har gått under etter digitale angrep. I 2016 økte f.eks. antallet angrep av løsepengevirus mot bedrifter i USA med hele 6 000 %. Også norske virksomheter er i økende grad utsatt for digitale angrep. Eksportindustrien er særlig utsatt - spesielt teknologibedriftene. Digital industrispionasje er ofte billigere og langt mer effektiv enn tradisjonelle metoder. Det drives derfor…

Albarans oppsummering av forhold man bør huske på i forbindelse med kontrakstinngåelse og kontraktsoppfølgning. Du må være innlogget som medlem for å lese resten av saken. [wpmem_logged_in] 1.Formalia Oversittelse av frister, eller feil bruk av varselrutiner, er en hyppig årsak til at leverandører mister krav eller posisjoner som det ellers kunne være mulighet til å nå frem med. Første spørsmål er derfor alltid frist(er)! Hvis frist er oversittet, kan det uansett være for sent. Derfor: la ikke noe få stå ubesvart, og som «tommelfingerregel», aldri mer enn 3 dager. Men Obs! dette er ikke noen vanntett «kjøreregel», for det forekommer…

De fire borgerlige partiene er enige om tiltak som skal flytte 30 prosent av godstransporten fra vei til sjø og bane innen 2030. Det tilsvarer 300.000 vogntog. Målsettingen skal skjerpes til 50 prosent innen 2050, ifølge Høyre, Fremskrittspartiet, KrF og Venstre. Avtalen bygger på et representantforslag fra KrF, som har vært til behandling i transportkomiteen. – Til tross for at det er bedre for klimaet, er det dyrere og mer avgiftsbelagt for bransjen å frakte gods sjøveien. Det ønsker vi å gjøre noe med. Beregninger viser at mellom 5-7 millioner tonn gods kan flyttes fra vei til sjø, sier KrFs…

At the OTC in Houston, ULSTEIN introduced the LX109 design, a high capacity, highly efficient cable lay vessel with compact dimensions.

Optimarin has been confirmed as the sole ballast water treatment (BWT) system supplier to be nominated for the Lloyd’s List North American Awards 2016. Recognised in the highly competitive ‘safer, cleaner seas’ category, the nomination tops the firm’s best ever start to a year, following up on a succession of system orders from names such as Carisbrooke, Atlantis Tankers and Sinopacific Shipbuilding Group. Optimarin CEO Tore Andersen believes this is no coincidence. “Our simple, flexible and market proven Optimarin Ballast System (OBS) technology is at the core of this recognition, but isn’t the sole reason for our recent success,” he…

This invention has proved incredibly popular ever since and now new products are in the offing. Roger Kristensen, the firm’s ceo, admits today’s market is tricky. “In these times with low activity in the oil and gas sectors, we have to think of other ways to stay afloat in the market,” he says.…
