Vessels controlled by Norwegian enterprises made 57 800 foreign port calls in 2010. Arrived gross tonnage was 1 174 million tonnes. The corresponding figures for 2009 were 55 100 port calls and 1 102 million of arrived gross tonnage.
Biggest increase in Asia

Arrived gross tonnage, at 319 million, went up by 39 million from 2009. Europe is still the largest area for Norwegian vessels measured by arrived gross tonnage, with 448 million in arrived gross tonnage in 2010.
