The topic of the article is the Norwegian expansion within oil tanker shipping in the interwar period, which is\nanalysed on the basis of new empirical evidence. By means of a purpose-built database, the basis for the\nexpansion is analysed and traditional accounts of the growth of Norwegian tanker shipping are challenged and\nmodified. Previously, the purchase of second-hand tankers from Anglo-Saxon Petroleum Co. has been seen as\nthe most important basis for the growth of Norwegian tanker shipping. This article claims that the Anglo-Saxon\ntankers were relatively unimportant. The dynamic relationship between Oslo-based shipowners, primarily\ncompanies without previous experience from the tanker industry, and foreign, in particular Swedish, yards is the\nkey to understanding the development
