Why are we called the Norwegian Seafarers Union when we represent seafarers from all over the world?

These are the three most senior elected officials of the Norwegian Seafarers' Union.

Norwegian Seafarers' Union (NSU) is a trade union for seafarers in the cruise industry, fisheries, cargo ships around the world. Our aim is to improve working conditions for seafarers across the shipping industry. We are affiliated to the International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF).

We were established in 2003 with support from the ITF. The centre aims to provide a space where seafarers can feel at home.
