Norway has world-leading technology, know-how and infrastructure for delivering smart and sustainable ferries to cities of the future. Waterways have been the most important transport infrastructure for thousands of years, which is why 90 per cent of all cities are located by water. Waterways are free, efficient, and immediately available in city centres. This is why we strongly believe that smart and sustainable water shuttles will be crucial to the green mobility systems in sustainable cities.

Now, a unified Norwegian industry has come together with a shared vision. We want to create seamless commutes, connecting cities over waterways, and become the best export article Norway can deliver. But what does the industry need to realize this global potential?
