Our force of innovation

Innovation happens when people with different knowledge meet to solve

common challenges

Norwegian shipbuilding is no longer labour intensive

Shipbuilding at Kleven

• Norwegian shipyards outsourced the building of hulls to

Eastern European countries 15 – 20 years ago

• High risk!

• Kleven is backsourcing the complex blocks of the hull

• To do this we are investing in automized production technology

• «We shall maintain the highest possible standards in our work

and we shall always be reliable» (Marius Kleven, 1944)

• Shorter delivery times

• Reduced costs

• Better quality

• A “greener” production

• A “greener” product

New production line to be ready Q1 2013

Why invest in new technology and production facilities?

New welding related investments.

• 7200 m2 new workshops.

• New pipe production cell.

• New steel construction facility with

– Robotized assembly and welding.

– Automatic warehouse for profiles.

– New welding-technologies

• Important for us to look at a complete

process, not only separated jobs.

Cost of workforce and robot from 2003 till 2012

Expectations on Governments

• Level playing field

• Ship-finance

• One maritime industry - i.e. the founding of SEA Europe

• The ”greening” of shipping

• Research and Development

• Education - i.e. lack of engineers and other technical key-personnell

• Infrastructure in general
