Hardangerfjord is on track for OPS in Eidfjord and extended tendering in Ulvik
The quay extension project at the Port of Eidfjord is nearing completion. The quay is being extended by 40m, bringing its total length to 160m. The project is scheduled for completion by April 30, 2026.
"The purpose of the extension is to enable all ships calling at Eidfjord access to shore power," says Inge Tangeras, ceo Visit Eidfjord/Cruise Destination Hardangerfjord.
In addition, the port is currently constructing the platform between the quay and the shoreside, where the shore power facility will be installed. Installation of shore power is planned to begin at the end of this year, with the system expected to be fully operational for the 2027 cruise season.
At the Port of Ulvik, a new concrete floating dock has been installed, enabling the port to accommodate a greater number of tenders for larger vessels. This long-awaited investment was completed in September last year.
New activities are also being introduced for passengers visiting Eidfjord, including a farm visit and cider tasting at Eidfjord Hotel, both within easy walking distance of the port. Further afield guided mountain hikes are on offer about 50km away and live music can be arranged on the quayside to create a memorable arrival experience.
