Norwegian Shipowners’ Association

The Norwegian Shipowners’ Association (NSA), established in 1909, is a national organisation representing companies engaged in international shipping and offshore service activities including drilling operations. The objective of NSAs environmental work is to promote a competitive Norwegian shipping and offshore contracting industry with high environmental standards. We aim to remain at the international forefront of environmentally friendly shipping.

Our “Environmental Programme 2003 – 2007” presents more detailed goals and activities to promote eco-friendly shipping. Copies in English and Norwegian can be obtained by contacting us. To promote these goals, NSA has supported a wide range of R&D activities through special Environmental Programmes.  In relation to hydrogen and fuel cell application, NSA has supported the following two projects:

• FCShip project (2001 – 2004). This was an EU funded project to examine the feasibility of utilising the Fuel Cell for shipboard energy production.  The project was headed by NSA on behalf of 21 European companies and institutions.
• FellowSHIP project (2003 – 2007 phase 1 & 2). This project is headed by DNV and includes 6 other participants, including Eidesvik Shipping.  The purpose is to develop, design, build, test and qualify integrated system solutions that will enable today’s fuel cell to meet the requirements for shipboard applications.  NSA has supported phase 1 of the project related to the feasibility study for installation of fuel cell powered emergency generator on board an offshore service vessel for Eidesvik.
