By: Publication details: Bergen : Universitetet i Bergen, 2025Description: 69 sSubject(s): Online resources: Summary: This report is written with the intention of stimulating dialogue between relevant stakeholders in Turkey and Norway so that ways to improve the safety and workers’ social conditions at the shipyards in Turkey can be explored. Politicians, funding bodies and businesses in Norway have during the 10 last years promoted a green transition in maritime transport in Norway. This has especially been successful with electrification of ferries. With limited capacity and high prices at Norwegian yards, the Norwegian maritime green transition has depended on and been facilitated by ship construction abroad. Turkey has emerged as one of the most important countries for the construction of new Norwegian boats, with Turkish yards in 2021 surpassing Norwegian yards in GBT constructed for Norwegian owners. After a crisis in 2008–2010, Turkish shipbuilding industry has grown significantly during the last 10 years.
