Nor-Shipping 2027

Join SMI at Nor-Shipping 2027, one of the world's most influential maritime events, taking place in June 2027 at Nova Spektrum, Lillestrøm, Norway.

More than an exhibition, Nor-Shipping is a fully-integrated ecosystem combining a world-class exhibition, high-level conference and extensive after-hours networking — offering unparalleled access to shipowners, operators, system integrators, regulators and technology partners. At the most recent edition in 2025, the event welcomed close to 900 exhibitors and over 30,000 visitors from more than 80 countries.

With strong alignment to the UK–Norway Green Industrial Partnership and shared priorities in decarbonisation, green technologies and digitalisation, Nor-Shipping 2027 presents a timely opportunity to develop commercially meaningful partnerships in key growth markets. The UK Pavilion will once again provide a high-profile, professionally managed platform to maximise your visibility and impact at the show.

THE UK GROUP AT NORSHIPPING 2027

The Society of Maritime Industries (SMI) is organising and managing the UK Group of exhibitors within a dedicated, high-traffic location in Hall D, creating a strong and recognisable collective presence for UK companies at Nor-Shipping.

SMI is allocated a limited amount of space within the hall, and demand is typically high. Companies considering participation are therefore encouraged to register their interest as early as possible.

The deadline for bookings is 20 November 2026, or earlier should all available space be allocated.

WHY EXHIBIT IN THE UK PAVILION?

• One simple route in, less admin for you - SMI acts as the group organiser, managing liaison with the Nor-Shipping organisers, coordinating contracts and payments, appointing agents and stand contractors, and briefing exhibitors, allowing you to focus on meetings and business development, not logistics.

• Stronger visibility than a standalone booking- SMI secures prime locations within the exhibition hall for the UK Pavilion, offering enhanced shell schemes from 9 sqm. Pavilion clustering typically delivers higher footfall and dwell time than isolated individual stands.

• Be where visitors expect to find the UK - Exhibiting as part of a clearly defined, co-located UK group with strong national branding makes your stand easier to find and more attractive to international visitors actively seeking UK suppliers and partners.

• Access to Embassy-led networking - A British Embassy networking reception is expected to take place, with invitations extended to UK Pavilion exhibitors, their clients, and targeted international contacts - an opportunity difficult to replicate independently.

• Added promotional reach - UK Pavilion participation is promoted through SMI’s social media channels, amplifying visibility before and during the show beyond what most standalone exhibitors can achieve alone.

• Professional Pavilion branding - Consistent UK Pavilion branding across the stand enhances credibility, visibility, and perception of scale, reinforcing the UK supply chain offer to visiting delegations.

MEET & GREET PODS

Our popular ‘Meet and Greet’ Pods will return for Nor‑Shipping 2027. Designed as a cost‑effective alternative to a full stand, Pods enable companies to exhibit within the UK Group Pavilion at a reduced rate, while still benefiting from the visibility, footfall and programme support of the Pavilion.

‘Meet and Greet’ Pods are ideal for companies seeking a professional presence, high‑quality meetings and Pavilion‑led engagement without the commitment of a standalone stand. A minimum of six companies is required to activate the Pod offer.

Each Pod comes with: Lockable cupboard, Br stool, 1 x electrical power outlet, spotlight, graphic printing, shared use of brochure racks and meeting tables and chairs.

Pod Prices: £3,995 (£3,200 plus 25% Norwegian VAT) 

Prices above includes the NOK10,000 exhibition registration fee. Please add SMI Management fees (see below).

SMI MANAGEMENT FEE

The SMI Management Fee covers all aspects of preparation, coordination, support and administration before, during and after the event, and applies to both Pods and Stands.

Through this fee, exhibitors receive comprehensive support designed to maximise return on investment, including hands‑on assistance with planning and delivery, enhanced promotion and visibility as part of the UK Pavilion, access to exclusive networking opportunities, tailored one‑to‑one support, and facilitated opportunities to engage with key decision‑makers and visiting delegations.

• Member rate - £1,250 plus UK VAT
• Non-member rate - £1,450 plus UK VAT

If your business suffers Norwegian VAT on goods or services relating to trading and does not have a requirement to be registered in Norway (not made any sales) then you can, subject to the minimum limit of NOK 5,000 apply for a refund from the Norwegian Tax Administration. SMI can connect you with our VAT specialists, AAB, who can provide a quote for their services and assist businesses with this refund process.
