The seafood industry is Norway's most important district industry and one of our most important export industries, with an export value of over NOK 100 billion. Collectively, the industry creates an employment effect of over 90,000 and generates value creation of over NOK 125 billion - mainly along the coast from Agder to Troms and Finnmark.

Close to the industry - nationally and internationally

The national importance of the seafood industry is growing strongly, and not least we see that fisheries and aquaculture have a very important role beyond the fish that is produced. In many coastal communities, seafood businesses are important cornerstone businesses. In order to support our seafood customers as best as possible, BDO has established a national industry network for our auditors and advisers. Together, we develop knowledge that is relevant to you as a customer and that enables us to assist you in the best possible way.

As a customer of BDO, you must be confident that you are receiving advice based on up-to-date information, adapted to your company, your market and your challenges.

In addition to a national industry network, we work closely with other international BDO offices with specialist expertise within the seafood industry. For example in Scotland, Iceland, Canada, South Africa, Chile, Australia and New Zealand. We can thus assist you both here in Norway and abroad, through one of our offices in 169 different countries.

Solutions to the industry's challenges

Since the establishment of BDO's industry network for the seafood industry, we have constantly developed new services that meet our customers' needs. The services have been developed precisely so that you can get help to solve your challenges or take on new opportunities. In recent years, we have worked closely with both farming companies, fishing boat companies, the supplier industry and authorities at home and abroad.
Our employees have extensive professional and industry experience and will be able to assist you so that you reach your goals. Feel free to contact us today, and we can go over how we can establish a collaboration.
