vicissitudes propagating albeit whole business – affecting everything from the restaurant industry to båtsalget.

Ferries are often considered an excess supply, says CEO Leif Bergaas in Noarboat – an industry organization representing the Norwegian pleasure boat industry.

He believes some in the Stavanger region have acted beyond their means.

All increases as oil rapture subsides – and contagion effect the opposite effect, think Bergaas.

– When your neighbor loses his job and have problems paying bills, you yourselves have worried. When is the boat the first thing you think of, he said.

The Norwegian boat market has admittedly struggled uphill for several years. Skjervik by Rogaland Maritime Senter report having traded 54 million in 2008, while the figure totaled around 28 million last year.

The effect of oil downturn thus comes on top of the downward trend. The retailer still choose to remain an optimist.

– Right now it’s a bit turbulent in this district with all who are dismissed, but I think sales have stabilized, he said.
