About the conference

The Haugesund Conference is held annually. Its objective is to bring together leading experts in the field of safety, shipping traffic and the environment within the maritime sector, and to focus on measures that can contribute to the continued improvement of safety. At the same time, the Haugesund Conference brings new knowledge to everyone who works within the maritime sector. The conference is a high quality national event that is held annually.

Since the inception of the conference in 1993, attendance figures for the conference have increased every year and the conference is now the country's most important maritime meeting place. The conference is one of the country's biggest forums for politicians and other key people who wish to reach out to the whole of the maritime environment.

The wholehearted support from a large number of public bodies and numerous organisations within the industry itself has been a vital factor in the success of the conference.
