The Norwegian maritime zone is 6

times larger than our land areas.

The maritime zone is very important

for the value creation of our nation.

Importance of marine-related industries

Shipping and Maritime sector

Offshore oil and gas

Fisheries and aquaculture

More than 40% of total

annual value creation

More than 70% of total

annual export value

Areas where Norway has "world class competence and

special preferences*"
