We need your input

The photo shows a section of the last version of the Map of the NCS (2023).

21/03/2024 Are you familiar with the printed version of our Map of the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS)? Do you have one yourself – maybe hanging on your wall? Is this something that's nice to have or a useful tool? We're conducting a mini-survey to map this specific issue.

We are constantly evolving and would like your input on whether and potentially how you use the printed version of the Map of the NCS.

The Map is important for the Norwegian Offshore Directorate and has been published since 1965. At the same time, we're continuing to develop and improve our digital Map of the NCS.

Yes, I'd like to participate in a mini-survey on the printed version of the Map of the NCS

The mini-survey takes less than 1 minute to conduct.

Thank you very much for your help!
