Norway's history and geography make its relationship to the passen- ger vessel market tight. Its industry has contributed invaluable advances to creating safe and efficient passen- ger vessels, including oceangoing cruise ships and ferries, both conven- tional and fast types. Projections for business in all passenger vessel seg- ments — despite saturation concerns in the cruise ship market — are posi- tive. Norway has been a world leader in stiffening legislation to ensure the highest degree of safety and perfor- mance, particularly on RoRo type vessels, and this, coupled with increasing acceptance of "fast fer- ries," will drive the refit and new- build side for years to come.

Jets Vacuum espouses this dedica- tion to the passenger vessel industry, nvolved in more than 100 ship pro- ects per year — including Royal
