Japan and Norway are global leaders in maritime innovation, each bringing complementary strengths to the industry. Japan’s world-class shipowners, shipyards, and marine manufacturers offer unmatched operational expertise and technical excellence, while Norway contributes cutting-edge digital solutions, energy-efficient technologies, and sustainability-driven innovations.
As both nations face shared challenges, such as rising operational costs, crew shortages, stricter safety requirements, new regulations, and the transition to low-emission operations, the collaboration between the two maritime sectors has never been more valuable. This seminar, held during Sea Japan 2026, offers a unique platform to explore practical cooperation opportunities and discover solutions that can support smarter, safer, and greener global shipping together.
日本とノルウェーは、世界の海事イノベーションを牽引する国として、それぞれが強みを持ちながら高い補完関係を築いています。日本の船主、造船所、海事メーカーは卓越した運航能力と技術力を誇り、ノルウェーは先進的なデジタルソリューションや省エネ技術、サステナビリティ主導の革新で世界をリードしています。
両国は、運航コストの上昇、乗組員不足、安全要件の強化、新規性、そして低排出化への移行といった共通の課題に直面しており、これらに対処するための協力の重要性は高まっています。本セミナーは、Sea Japan 2026 の開催に合わせ、スマートで安全、かつ環境配慮型の海運に向けた実践的な協力機会とソリューションを探る交流の場を提供します。
