Maritime Pension Fund

The Maritime Pension Fund is a statutory pension scheme for employees at sea.

A public, madatory service pension scheme was established by the Act of 3 December 1948 no. 7 concerning pension insurance for seafarers (previously called seamen's pension).

The primary purpose of the pension scheme is to pay pensions to seafarers  between the ages of 60 and 67 who have acquired a sufficient number of pensionable months on Norwegian-registered ships (NOR and NIS).
