Deep Sea Minerals

As we approach 2025, a new global industry is emerging, with Norway being one of the deep-sea mineral hotspots.

Since the Seabed Minerals Act was enacted in 2019, Norwegian authorities have been diligently advancing the opening process.
The first permits are expected to be granted to exploration companies in the first half of 2025.
