The International Propeller Club has launched a new branch in Norway, bringing together professionals from shipping, ports, energy, law, finance, and technology.
The initiative aims to strengthen Norway’s engagement in the global maritime community through networking and cross-sector collaboration.
Regional committees across the country are expected to support the Club’s efforts to serve as a national platform for dialogue and partnership across the maritime industry.
Founded in 1922 and rebranded as The International Propeller Club two years ago, the organisation has developed into a global network focused on facilitating industry connections, drawing inspiration from the early merchant gatherings at Lloyd’s coffee houses.

Dr. Sinem Ogis, President and Founder of the Propeller Club of Norway, said: “The Propeller Club’s value lies in its ability to serve as a common platform where stakeholders can engage in meaningful dialogue and build lasting business-to-business (B2B) connections.
“We believe in the simple truth that no shipping means no shopping. Trade must go on, through cooperation, innovation, and global dialogue.”
Sidsel Norvik, Director of Nor-Shipping, added: “We are excited about the Propeller Club in Norway being launched at Nor-Shipping, and are cheering for this valuable initiative bringing the maritime community together and strengthening international collaboration.”
