dc.description.abstract | The topic of the article is the Norwegian expansion within oil tanker shipping in the interwar period, which is
analysed on the basis of new empirical evidence. By means of a purpose-built database, the basis for the
expansion is analysed and traditional accounts of the growth of Norwegian tanker shipping are challenged and
modified. Previously, the purchase of second-hand tankers from Anglo-Saxon Petroleum Co. has been seen as
the most important basis for the growth of Norwegian tanker shipping. This article claims that the Anglo-Saxon
tankers were relatively unimportant. The dynamic relationship between Oslo-based shipowners, primarily
companies without previous experience from the tanker industry, and foreign, in particular Swedish, yards is the
key to understanding the development. | en |
