As a registered seafood company, we are working closely with the Norwegian seafood council. They work with the Norwegian fisheries and aquaculture industries to develop markets for Norwegian seafood. Through their work the Seafood Council increases the value of Norwegian Seafood. Thecouncil do this by working systematical on market insight, market development, market preparedness and reputation building in selected markets across the world.

Owned by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries, the NSC is responsible for increasing the demand for and consumption of Norwegian seafood, as well as developing new markets. We represent everyone in the Norwegian seafood industry, so we are funded through fees levied on all exports of Norwegian seafood.

The NSC is headquartered in Tromsø, and maintains local offices in twelve of Norway’s most important seafood markets around the globe: Sweden, Germany, UK, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Brazil, Japan, China, Singapore, USA, West- and Central- Africa.

Reputational risk management is highly prioritized within the Seafood Council. The Seafood Council provides correct and up-to-date information about the Norwegian fisheries and aquaculture industry.

With the knowledge from the Seafood Council, Northwest Seafood is able to get first hand information regarding the national and international trading ability.
