HAV Group ASA is based in Fosnavåg on the western coast of Norway, with the ocean as its nearest neighbour. We work closely with the ocean industries and our customers, who give us direct and clear feedback. At the same time, we are part of a world-leading maritime cluster engaged in pro-active technology development and forward-looking innovation.

THE SHIPS OF THE FUTURE

In recent years, the companies that now make up the HAV Group have invested extensive resources and focused their research and development work on creating environmentally friendly equipment, energy-efficient ships, and zero-emission solutions.

Our products and knowledge have been used for many vessels and facilities that are now in operation as proof of the HAV Group’s experience of developing the ships and ocean industries of the future.

The Norwegian word HAV means ocean, and the ocean is the foundation for our expertise and experience. The ocean is where we live. It surrounds us on all sides. It is our livelihood – and we must protect it. That is why we are a frontier in the development of technology that maximises value creation for our customers while minimising their environmental impact.

THE DREAM

The desire to conquer the sea is old.

For thousands of years, people have dreamed of boats and the sea.

A figurative rock carving in the region where the HAV Group is located is 2,000 year old, a ship portrayed in the Roskar rock carving.

The oldest keeled ship in Northern Europe, the precursor to the Viking ships, is also found in HAV Group's neighborhood.

Now, the goal is to ensure sustainable use of the sea going forward.
