Oslo [Norway], June 5 (ANI): The Union Minister of Ports, Shipping & Waterways (MoPSW), Sarbananda Sonowal, attended the MoU signing ceremonies in Oslo, as Indian maritime companies inked them with leading global players, exploring opportunities for collaboration and future business.

These vessels will have hybrid propulsion and will adhere to the latest cybersecurity norms. This is in addition to an existing order of 8 such vessels currently being constructed at GRSE's Kolkata yard. The GRSE also signed MoUs with Aries Marine LLC from the UAE on collaboration on 'Construction of Offshore platforms and Vessels' and with a Global Engine Manufacturer. During the Union Minister's visit to the Norway pavilion, an MoU was signed between India's Larsen & Toubro (L&T) group and Norway's DNV covering multiple areas of collaboration.

As two proud maritime nations with extensive coastlines and rich oceanic traditions, we understand that the future of the blue economy hinges not just on development but on sustainable, inclusive, and resilient growth.
