Nor-Shipping 2025: A Milestone for Maritime Innovation
Since 1965, Nor-Shipping has served as a defining arena for the global ocean industries. In 2025, the event celebrated its 60th anniversary with a record-breaking edition — confirming its position as a leading platform for innovation, dialogue, and global collaboration.
This year’s event brought together a powerful mix of long-standing maritime players, forward-leaning startups, and thought leaders from around the world. Hosted in Norway — one of the few nations with a complete maritime value chain — the exhibition showcased everything from advanced vessel design and green propulsion to safety systems, data-driven operations, and integrated ship communication platforms.
Norway’s Maritime Industry Sets the Global Standard
Norway’s role in the maritime sector has always been more than geographic. The country is home to a highly developed cluster of shipbuilders, technology developers, shipowners, and solution providers, many of whom lead the way in digitalization, green innovation, and regulatory compliance.
Nor-Shipping 2025 highlighted how these actors are responding to global demands with solutions that are both scalable and sustainable. It also made clear that collaboration — across disciplines and borders — is the key to accelerating progress.
For Zenitel, participating in Nor-Shipping goes beyond visibility. It’s an opportunity to connect with peers and partners, share knowledge, and stay aligned with the direction the industry is heading. With communication technology playing an increasingly critical role in onboard safety, efficiency, and cybersecurity, being present in the discussions that shape the future is more important than ever.
