Covid-19 Omicron Variant Fears Scrap Nor-Shipping Event

An biannual event that brings an estimated 50,000 international attendees together in Norway has just been postponed.

Nor-Shipping has announced that it will be postponed with an announcement of the possible next date expected to be given sometime this week.

With Covid-19 and its recent news of the Omicron variant cases increasing worldwide, the organizers felt it was a responsible decision to make.

Nor-Shipping director Sidsel Norvik said, “In a very fluid pandemic situation, with rapidly rising infection rates here in Norway and elsewhere, we believe the time has come to postpone our January program and try and create some clarity for our exhibitors and participants.”
