The Norwegian Merchant Fleet - The Small State's Multitool for Future Crisis

Abstract

In a complex world with humanitarian crises, natural disasters, migration, terrorism, and piracy, Norway has an obligation to protect and assist both its own citizens and international partners all over the globe within its limited means. Norways merchant fleet forward presence, the unique legal framework between the Norwegian Government, and the Norwegian Shipowners Association and the international networks of maritime clusters can enable rapid logistical support for an expeditionary force in a hasty crisis response or limited contingency operation.
