The Norwegian super-cluster, aka knowledge hub, comprises many of Noway´s best and brightest in maritime research and industry, many of whom had gathered at DNV´s headquarters in Høvik  today to exchange ideas and plot the way forward.  Present were many of the new industry endowed professors. These earmarked experts are a key component and resource in  the Maritime Knowledge Hub endeavor.
