Get ready to share knowledge and ideas on how to preserve a healthy ocean through clean maritime solutions in Bergen between April 13 and 19.
One Ocean Week is filled with exciting activities for everyone interested in a sustainable ocean economy – including, of course, Maritime CleanTech and our partners.
After a successful launch in 2023, One Ocean Week is now in its second year, officially making it a tradition in Bergen. The event is a collaboration between One Ocean Havbyen Bergen and partners, with support from Bergen municipality and Vestland County municipality.
Collaboration is key
“We are excited about taking part in One Ocean Week together with our partners in One Ocean Havbyen Bergen. There is no sustainable future for the ocean without green maritime operations, and collaboration is key to transforming the ocean industries,” says Håvard Tvedte, head of public affairs at Maritime CleanTech.
One Ocean Havbyen Bergen is a partnership of actors with a focus on sustainable value creation linked to the sea. A world-leading initiative that will promote increased interaction, attractiveness, sustainable growth and competence in the marine industries with Bergen as the central driving force.
Take a look at Maritime CleanTech’s activities during One Ocean Week and join in:

April 17: Student Presentation on EU Innovation Projects
Maritime CleanTech will meet master students at the Norwegian School of Economics (NHH) and give a guest lecture on the innovations that will shape the future of the maritime industry and how EU-funded collaboration projects can contribute to a sustainable ocean economy. This event is for NHH students only.
April 17: Meeting with the North Sea Commission
Together with partners, Maritime CleanTech will meet with the North Sea Commission’s Marine Resources Group and give a presentation on Norway’s green maritime technology hub. The meeting will take place onboard the MS “Skulebas”, a training vessel owned by Vestland County Council. Later this year, the vessel will be equipped with hydrogen fuel cells, so maritime students can learn to operate a zero-emission propulsion system. This is a closed meeting.
