Norway is synonymous with car carriers despite being neither a significant importer nor exporter of vehicles.

Hoegh Autoliners, Wallenius Wilhelmsen, United European Car Carriers (UECC) and Siem Car Carriers are all familiar operators serving the major car manufacturers. Norwegian Car Carriers (NOCC), JB Ugland and Gram Car Carriers are tonnage providers.

In fact, it was NOCC’s founding partner Dyvi that is claimed to have built the world’s first ro-ro car carrier in 1964, the Dyvi Anglia.
