Energy and Shipping

Norway enjoys a proud heritage as one of the foremost shipping nations. These days, Norway offers extensive shipping and shipbuilding services, and Norwegian merchant shipping companies own around 10 percent of the world's fleet. Norway is also one of the largest oil and gas producers in the world. In addition to a thriving oil and gas industry with numerous technology and service businesses, it is leading the way in alternative energy, such as hydropower, wind and solar power. The energy and shipping group at BA-HR benefits from the substantial experience of our energy and shipping lawyers, as well as specialists in the fields of banking and corporate finance, dispute resolution, competition, regulatory aspects, environment, insurance and tax. It is therefore not surprising that Chambers Global should describe BA-HR as a “really top-notch firm” in this area. Whether your business needs advice on ship finance or maritime insurance, offshore issues such as oil rig financing and construction, or assistance at the cutting edge of new energy technologies and environmental issues, BA-HR’s team has the heavyweight experience you will require in this competitive market.
