What we do<\/h2>\n

The Port of Stavanger handels cruise, goods, offshore and ferry traffic. Other important activities include property management, pleasure boat, tourism and collaboration with festival organisers and public sector bodies.<\/p>\n

You will be welcomed by service-minded and innovative professionals. The Stavanger region offers a well-developed infrastructure and people with high level of skills and expertise. We are centrally located in relation to the rest of Europe.<\/p>\n

The region offers spectacular nature, and V\u00e5gen harbour in the very heart of Stavanger can accommodate very large cruise ships[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css_animation=”none” css=”.vc_custom_1742167149043{padding-top: 4vw !important;padding-bottom: 6vw !important;background-color: #e5e0d3 !important;}” el_class=”rowlight”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Our organisation<\/h2>\n

The inter-municipal port authority was established on 15 March 2000. From 1 January 2007 a restructuring resulted in management and operations being allocated between two new companies.<\/p>\n

The parent company (Stavangerregionen Havn IKS) deals with administrative activities linked to the port, and also acts as owner of the Group\u2019s mooring facilities and properties, which are leased out to the wholly-owned subsidiary Stavangerregionen Havnedrift AS. The parent company was established pursuant to the Norwegian Act relating to Inter-Municipal Companies, no. 6, of 29 January 1999. A separate corporate agreement has been drawn up and the company is registered in the Br\u00f8nn\u00f8ysund Register Centre.<\/p>\n
