Shipowners anticipate slower growth in turnover

摘要

Norwegian international shipping had a total turnover of NKr248 billion (US$30.6 billion) in 2013, according to Navigating in a New Climate: Maritime Outlook 2015, a publication from the Norwegian Shipowners' Association. This would be an increase of 19 per cent from 2012. Estimates based partly on statistics from this year's report show that shipping companies increased their turnover by 5.5 per cent in 2014 to NKr202 billion (US$24.9 billion). Shipowners' expectations one year ago, presented in the 2014 report, were for an increase of 6 per cent, very close to the actual figure.
