After a hiatus of almost three years, Nor-Shipping, Your Arena for Ocean Solutions, was “back with a bang” in Norway between 4th and 7th April 2022.

Figures released by Nor-Shipping’s management team showed a healthy spread of exhibitors, strong participant numbers and, as evidenced by the lively atmosphere in both exhibition and event venues, an obvious desire for physical meetings again.

In total, exhibitors were drawn from 34 countries, with visitors representing some 83 nationalities. For the first large-scale industry gathering of its kind since the pandemic began, Nor-Shipping says it was “delighted” to see such a robust international spread. There were over 21,000 unique visits to the exhibition halls, approximately 8,000 guests at social venues in Oslo city centre, and about 150 separate, and packed, associated and partner events.

Cyber-MAR project was, also, there, represented by Professor Kevin Jones (University of Plymouth). Professor Kevin Jones delivered a presentation on ‘Securing Maritime‘, on 6. Apr, 14:30 – 15:00 at Hall E – Technical Seminar E1.

His presentation included an executive summary of the latest maritime cyber threats research from the University of Plymouth, including real attacks on ships’ IT&OT physical twins. Presentation can be found here.
