A film for Norwegian Centre of Expertice - Maritime

The Client:
Norwegian Centre of Expertise – Maritime

Norway, home for a tiny 0,1% of the world’s population, controls over 5% of the world’s merchant fleet and has the second largest offshore fleet in the world, after USA!

A World-Leading Maritime Cluster
Most of Norway’s strength in the field of advanced marine operations is concentrated within an hour’s drive from the picturesque town of Ålesund on the country’s west coast. The region is home for an impressive constellation of over 200 leading maritime companies and training, research and finance institutions that form one of very few complete maritime clusters in the world.

Centre for Norway's Maritime Expertise
Due to its leading position and its strong global presence, the cluster was awarded the prestigious status as Norwegian Centre of Expertise – Maritime by the Norwegian government. Over 75% of the world’s large, hi-tech offshore vessels are designed there. 40% of the world’s most advanced offshore fleet is controlled by the region’s ship-owners.15 design companies

14 ship yards
18 ship-owner companies
159 equipment suppliers
40% of the world's modern fleet
= One World-class maritime cluster!

The Challenge/The Brief:
Disseminate the world's largest maritime cluster's responsibilities, opportunities and prospects. This should be done without showing a single product, without showing a single vessel, and without showing a single employee. The Client also wanted us to create a feeling of internal pride of the maritime cluster, and its employees.

The solution:
The solution is in The Ocean.
