This publication contains the written papers of the talks presented at a symposium organized jointly between the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters (DNVA) (www.dnva.no) and the Norwegian Academy of Technological Sciences (NTVA) (www.ntva.no).

The symposium was held on the 19th October 2010 in the localities of DNVA in Oslo and had more than 100 registered participants.

The topic of the Symposium – Marine Transport in the High North – was chosen because of its political importance; Norway’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jonas Gahr Støre, gave the introductory speech. Experts invited by the learned societies contributed with talks that reflected the current knowledge on the subject, viewed from the scientific, technological and juridical understanding.

Together, DNVA and NTVA represent the entire spectrum of the learned disciplines. By organizing an annual joint symposium on a topic of high political priority, the two academies want to develop this kind of science communication.
