About Norway Ports and Congestion
Norwegian maritime infrastructure, particularly at ports like Olhammeren and Arsnes, has faced fluctuating congestion due to seasonal weather, restricted berth space, and increased ship calls. Fishing export traffic and regional cargo movement contribute to port saturation, especially during operational peaks. Inbound and outbound vessels encounter delays in berthing and unloading, particularly when tug availability is stretched. Efforts by port authorities include optimizing shift rotations, introducing digital queue systems, and extending yard hours to minimize idle time. While some ports report eased conditions due to lower inbound container loads, others continue to experience berth delays and long anchorage queues.
