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
