History
The predecessor of Nor-Cargo was established in 1967 when Be-No-Ve samseilingen was established by Bergenske Dampskibsselskab, Nordenfjeldske Dampskibsselskab and Vesteraalske Dampskibsselskab. Four years later Ofotens Dampskibsselskab, Narvik Dampskibsselskab and Nordlandske Dampskibsselskab also joined. This was a cooperation between the shipping companies. In 1979 this was taken one step further when Nordsjørederiet Nor-Cargo A/S was founded.
