  • Aker's 175 Anniversary

In 2016 Aker will be celebrating its 175th anniversary. This report is written in association with this celebration. Its main purpose is to highlight important events that have occurred over the past 25 years. What events are considered to be important? How have these events influenced the environment and Aker’s future? This is what we have attempted to answer in our report. We chose a snowball method which means we performed a few preliminary interviews that guided us to our next interview subjects. After analysing the data we collected from our interviews, combined with our literature, we ended up with several interesting findings. Our findings include: - Aker’s part in the development of the oil and gas industry in Norway - The growth of subsea - New ownership in Aker, an event that occurred in 1996-1997 - Fishing industry becomes a part of Aker’s portfolio in 1996 - Aker Maritime and Kvaerner merge and de-merge, this happened in 2002 and 2011 - Aker ASA goes in a new direction from 2009 - An acquisition in Det norske takes place, and Aker Exploration merges with Det norske 2009 - Ocean Yield is established in 2012 ! We have analysed these events and areas of importance, and attempted to establish how they have impacted Aker’s future and its environment.
