Shipping Companies on the Oslo Stock Exchange

The Oslo Stock Exchange (“OSE”) maintains a leading position within the marine and energy sectors. Through a high number of new listings in the last few years the OSE has managed to protect and expand this position. In 2006 a total of 32 new companies were listed on the OSE. So far in 2007 approximately 35 new companies have been listed. A significant number of these new entrants are marine or energy related. An interesting development in the last few years is that the OSE has managed to attract a fair number of foreign companies which have their headquarters and base of operations outside Norway.

Among the shipping companies listed in Oslo is the world’s largest tanker operator Frontline Ltd., the dry bulk operator Golden Ocean, Bergesen Worldwide Gas, Wilh. Wilhelmsen, Odfjell, and leading cruise operator Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. Other shipping companies are Ganger Rolv and Bonheur (Fred. Olsen), Stolt-Nielsen, B+H Ocean Carriers, Wilson, Camillo Eitzen, Eitzen Chemical, Deep Sea Supply, Hurtigruten, Fairmount Heavy Transport, Farstad Shipping, Green Reefers, Star Reefers, Siem Offshore, DOF, Havila, I.M.
