Nordisk Defence Club
The Nordisk Defence Club ( no, Nordisk Skibsrederforening) is the world’s largest independent FD&D club, and is operating worldwide. It was established in Copenhagen in 1889 and moved to Oslo in 1891. The invitation to Nordisk's founding meeting in Copenhagen said the purpose of the association would be “to work in the interest of shipping”. A key reason for its establishment was to organize shipowners in a common effort to avoid unreasonable charterparty clauses imposed by charterers in the prevailing poor market. This included working to develop standardized charter parties. One of the documents Nordisk worked on was the Baltcon charterparty, which became the first document of BIMCO in 1908. Nordisk has ever since been involved in the drafting of a large number of BIMCO documents, including Baltime, NYPE, Norwegian Saleform, Barecon, Shipman and Supplytime. Nordisk began issuing a collection of maritime court and arbitration decisions from the Nordic countries in 1900. Kno ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Maritime Law
Admiralty law or maritime law is a body of law that governs nautical issues and private maritime disputes. Admiralty law consists of both domestic law on maritime activities, and private international law governing the relationships between private parties operating or using ocean-going ships. While each legal jurisdiction usually has its own legislation governing maritime matters, the international nature of the topic and the need for uniformity has, since 1900, led to considerable international maritime law developments, including numerous multilateral treaties. Admiralty law may be distinguished from the law of the sea, which is a body of public international law dealing with navigational rights, mineral rights, jurisdiction over coastal waters, and the maritime relationships between nations. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea has been adopted by 167 countries and the European Union, and disputes are resolved at the ITLOS tribunal in Hamburg. History Seabor ...

Merkantilt Biografisk Leksikon
''Merkantilt biografisk leksikon: hvem er hvem i næringslivet?'' ( en, Mercantile Biographical Encyclopedia: Who is Who in the Enterprise?) was a Norwegian-language encyclopedia published by Yrkesforlaget in 1935. It featured approximately 10,000 short biographical entries for Norwegian businesspeople, and was edited by Einar Hoffstad (1894–1959). It was printed by Grøndahl & Søns Boktrykkeri. The purpose of the encyclopedia was to "remedy the need to know something about the individuals one is trading with". The entries contain little genealogical information, and the parents of the portrayed businesspeople are not included. Abbreviations are used extensively to save space and money. The editor, Einar Hoffstad, stated in the foreword of the encyclopedia that it was not a parallel to the '' Who's Who'' reference works, although the title could imply that. Hoffstad argued that ''Merkantilt biografisk leksikon'' featured too few and too many names for being a ''Who is Who'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Nortraship
The Norwegian Shipping and Trade Mission (Nortraship) was established in London in April 1940 to administer the Norwegian merchant fleet outside German-controlled areas. Nortraship operated some 1,000 vessels and was the largest shipping company in the world. It made a major contribution to the Allied war effort. The British politician Philip Noel-Baker, Baron Noel-Baker, commented after the war, "The first great defeat for Hitler was the battle of Britain. It was a turning point in history. If we had not had the Norwegian fleet of tankers on our side, we should not have had the aviation spirit to put our Hawker Hurricanes and our Spitfires into the sky. Without the Norwegian merchant fleet, Britain and the allies would have lost the war". Nortraship had its main offices in London and New York City and was active during World War II. Nortraship was vital to Norway and the exile government as it lacked other means to support the Allied fight against the Axis powers. The organisati ...
