What next for Norwegian shipbuilding?
We the editors and publishers of this magazine are convinced that your reading of it, or even just browsing through it, will leave you with the impression that the Norwegian shipbuilding industry is an undisputed success story. In the course of 2006 the yards have delivered quality ships in a constant flow and the orderbooks are as full as they have never been before. The figures are astonishing: Norwegian yards have in 2006 delivered a record number of ships, all of which presented in this magazine, and the combined orderbook accounted at the turn of the year for NOK 50bn, which is all time high. The industry is obviously well off far into 2010.
