Green Shipping Programme

The Green Shipping Programme (GSP), a public-private partnership, aims to advance the Norwegian government's maritime strategies and plans. The programme's vision is to develop and strengthen Norway's goal to establish the world's most efficient and environmentally-friendly shipping. GSP was first established in January 2015 under the name “the Green Coastal Shipping Program”, consisting of 16 private companies and organisations, as well as two government ministries. In the spring of 2019, the program changed its name to the Green Shipping Program to state international ambitions. In the spring of 2021, the program included more than 50 private companies and organizations as well as 10 public observers. The Green Shipping Program is financed partly by public allocations from the State budget of Norway and partly by the members themselves.
