Are you new to the maritime industry – or simply eager to understand how one of the world’s most complete maritime clusters works?

GCE Blue Maritime Cluster invites you to join Maritime Onboarding, an introductory course that provides insight into how the maritime value chain is structured, how it creates value, and how all parts are interconnected.

Throughout the course, we explore the entire lifecycle of a ship – from its history to how it is financed, designed, built, and operated. What do suppliers focus on, and how is everything approved?

The goal is to give you an overview of how the maritime value chain works in practice – explained by the companies themselves.

Agenda:

  • The maritime industry and the history of the cluster | Knut Tore Aurdal | Head of Projects - GCE Blue Maritime Cluster

  • Ship Financing | TBA

  • Ship Insurance and Contracts | TBA

  • Ship Design | Øyvind Kamsvåg | Chief Designer -  Ulstein Design and Solutions

  • Ship Building | Ulstein | Lars Lühr Olsen - Yard Director

  • The landscape of public actors | TBA

  • The Supplier perspective | Brunvoll | Kristian Solemsjø - Business Development Manager

  • Ship Owner | Tommy Walaunet | Managing Director - Island Offshore

  • Company visit | Ulstein Yard

More details about the program will be coming soon!

The course is free for cluster members. For non-cluster members, the price per participant is 2500 NOK.

The course suits newly employed individuals in the industry, employees in related sectors, politicians and public sector employees, maritime sector employees looking for a "re-boarding" in the industry, and anyone else interested in learning more about the maritime value chain.
