Port of Oslo is Norway’s largest public cargo port, handling approximately 50 calls per week.
Quay Dues

Vessels calling at Oslo and using public quays must pay quay dues. Quay dues are the vessel’s payment for using the port and its quays, calculated per gross ton (GT).

For vessels up to and including 8,000 GT: per GT NOK 1.03

For vessels over 8,001 GT: per GT NOK 0.85 Minimum price per day of berth time: NOK 2100

Examples of calculation:

Vessel size 8,000 GT: Quay dues = 8,000 × 1.03 = NOK 8240

Vessel size 20,000 GT: Quay dues = 8,240 + (20,000 – 8,000) × 0.85 = NOK 18440

Cargo Dues

Cargo dues are payments for the use of Port of Oso’s quays and areas and apply to all goods loaded or unloaded from ships. The fee covers storage of goods on municipal quays and areas for up to 48 hours before or after shipment.

For storage beyond 48 hours, the provisions on storage and rental apply (see services).
