Shipping & Offshore Network is a maritime market network organisation for the maritime industry in S In 2013 we changed name to Shipping & Offshore Network.

Shipping & Offshore Network is an independent club type network association founded in 1981 by 28 Norwegian shipping companies under the name Bulkforum. Initially the main purpose of the forum was to organise market research related to tanker and bulk shipping markets, based on theoretical as well as practical expertise and knowledge. Over the years the forum has expanded, in the terms of scope, membership structure and activities. Shipping & Offshore Network has neutrality and integrity as guiding principles. It is managed by its General Manager and the Board, both responsible to the General Assembly. It is a not-for-profit organisation with its accounts open for insight to all members. The network is financed by membership subscriptions and seminar fees, plus occasional contributions from major members in the form of co-hosting network events. Each member company appoints contact persons who receive all invitations, reports and documents related to the network, but also other employees of the member company are free to attend at network seminars and meetings.

Our seminar was titled "Global shipping in turbulent wartimes - with special focus on security, tariffs and trade". Our eminent speakers were:

Andreas von der Heide from Consilio International, Stockholm
Anne Gry Reitan Ringen from Crown Defenze, Oslo
and Nicolai Hansteen from DNV

After the interesting and thought provoking seminar, we enjoyed drinks and our lovely annual dinner and forgot about the scary world outside for a few hours.

Or, quoting Andreas von der Heide, a world full of opportunities.

It was good to have Dilek Ayhan there to talk about her Ocean House Collective initiative, and to have the younger generation represented; Anders Kårbø Rong is co-founder and chair of NJORD - Maritime Studentforening.
