The Norwegian Merchant fleet had 1 388 vessels with a gross tonnage of 15 997 000 tonnes at the end of 2013. While the fleet as a whole remains steady, the two registries making up the fleet follow different trajectories. In NOR there were 888 ships with 2 000 000 gross tonnes by the end of 2013. This is a 2 per cent drop in the number of ships and almost 3 per cent more gross tonnage than the year before. NIS on the other hand experienced a growth in both the number of ships and in gross tonnage; both were up 2.5 per cent. There were 500 ships and almost 14 000 000 of gross tonnage in NIS at the end of 2013.
