The growing Brazilian maritime sector will be front and centre at this year’s sold-out Nor-Shipping exhibition.

Norway’s shipping industry biennial Nor-Shipping is set to open at Lillestrom with NOK 66m ($12m)-worth of sold-out space to some 1,100 exhibitors.

The head organiser of the exhibition and conference event tells TradeWinds he expects a turnout of basically the same size as in 2009, rather than a record-breaker.
