The nine selected projects are spread across Norway, from Oslo to Bodø. They include funding for digital platforms at the ports of Harstad and Bodø, dredging and quay upgrades at Uthaug harbour, and the expansion of a quay and ro-ro ramp in Føresvik.
The government noted that the subsidy scheme will be reviewed to align it more closely with the “green transition”. The National Transport Plan for 2025-2026 proposes allocating NOK125 million annually to the scheme going forward.
It also said that subsidies of up to 80 percent of eligible costs can be provided, limited to what is necessary to project realization, and that port facilities that receive support must be publicly accessible.
