Ship Technology Days

Thank you so much for your participation at this year’s event- which took place on February 27-29, 2024 in Ulsteinvik, Norway.

This year’s conference will focus on Maritime Digitalization and showcase new concepts, tools and methods that emerge through digitalization in the maritime industry.

With us on stage, we have both new and established industry partners and research institutions working on the forefront in maritime automatization and autonomy.

Ulsteinvik and its surrounding areas represent an impressive amount of maritime- and ship building competence, with a strong focus on sustainable shipping, next-gen propulsion, and use of lightweight materials in ship design.

Ulstein Business Association and GCE Blue Maritime Cluster are organizing this years’ event.

Blue Maritime Hang Out

Place: Skaparhuset

We enjoy som good tapas, beer and good talks about the maritime industry in the area.

A century ago, the maritime industry in our region revolutionized both the fisheries and sealing sectors by introducing motorized vessels. Today, digitalization taking place in the same region is kickstarting a new maritime era!
Johannes Alme is an expert on the local sealing- and fishery history. He will show us the link between the past and the future – and explain why this region continues to be the seat of transformation and development.

Adress: Skaparhuset, Sjøgata 3o 6065 Ulsteinvik

You can join the hangout without tickets to Ship Technology Days. Sign up here.

Ulsteinvik

Welcome to Ulsteinvik!

Beautiful Ulsteinvik is a pittoresque small town situated on the scenic western coast of Norway. To Norwegians, the region is known as “Sunnmøre” and home of the fjords, alpine mountains, and beaches famous for their surf.

Known for its long and strong ship building traditions, Ulsteinvik is the home of two shipyards, Ulstein and Green Yard Kleven, and Kongsberg Maritime’s main location for advanced propulsion systems. In addition, some of the world’s most innovative ship design- and technology takes place at Ulstein Design & Solutions.

In the area surrounding Ulsteinvik you’ll find several shipyards, shipping companies, a diverse constellation of maritime subcontractors and strong maritime technology-research at NTNU, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.

The global shift to renewable energies has sparked the region’s maritime sector’s ambitious goal of leading the way within the green shift. The strong focus on hydrogen and energy, autonomous ships, light weight composites, naval architecture and ship design makes a visit to Sunnmøre and Ulsteinvik a must!

The main conference day (Wednesday 28th) takes place in the beautiful hotel Quality Hotel Ulstein, located just down by the sea in Ulsteinvik.

What is Ship Technology Days?

Ship Technology Days is a three-day meeting for the international maritime technological network taking place in Ulsteinvik, Norway. The meeting consists of several presentations and workshops, and is modeled together with scientists, researchers and the ship tech industry. In addition, it will facilitate both formal and informal meeting places to exchange thoughts and ideas on creative and technological processes.

Ship Technology Days will engage Norwegian and international ship engineers, ship designers/naval architects and technology developers to exchange knowledge as well as cooperate and innovate with different maritime research communities and clusters.

Ship Technology Days is an initiative by Ulstein Business Association and GCE Blue Maritime Cluster.

By creating a yearly maritime happening that addresses advanced technological development and research, we can promote the highly competent maritime cluster in our region and help connect it better internationally.

Main partner
We are so happy to have Kongsberg onboard as Ship Technology Days’ main partner! Kongsberg is leading the way, both internationally and locally, in developing future-focused solutions for the maritime industry.
