Bergen (NOBGO)

The port is well equipped to handle all types of vessels in its well sheltered harbour which is open all year round. Major offshore oil field support facilities are located within the harbour district. Bergen is also an important cruise destination.

North Atlantic Winter Seasonal Zone II, Winter Nov 1 to Mar 31, Summer Apr 1 to Oct 31.

Bergen is located on the SW coast of Norway, at the S end of Byfjorden approximately 11nm from the open sea and 479km W of Oslo.

LOA 347.06m, beam 78.08m, draught 12.2m, 76,061DWT.

Approx 68,000,000t of cargo, 33,000TEU, 98,000 vessels and 2,400,000 passengers handled annually.

Anchorage at Sandviksflaket, off Sandviken. Depths from 22-50m. Beware shallows off Hegreneset peninsula. Vessels of considerable size may anchor in the outer part of Puddefjorden except W of a line formed by the alignment of the outer corner of Dokkeskjaerskaien (60°23.3'N 005°18.5'E) with the outer corner of Frieleneskaien, 2 cables to the SE. This area E of Kirkebukten Harbour lies on the leading line to Puddefjordsbroen bridge. The anchorage is exposed to NW winds but holding ground is reportedly good.

Approach: Bergen is approached from the N via Fedje Pilot Station, Fedjeosen, Hjeltefjorden and the SW part of Byfjorden; and from the S via Marsteinen Pilot Station, Korsfjorden, Raunefjorden, Vatlestraumen, and the SW part of Byfjorden. Caution: Submerged rocks (2.9m below CD) on the SW side of the approach to Damsgardssundet (Puddefjorden) - off Damsgard. Traffic in Vagen can be particularly congested: vessels inbound or outbound should stay as far to starboard as practicable through the entrance, to allow other vessels maximum sea room. Inbound vessels with draught less than 3.7m are reportedly permitted to enter S of the Nordnes starboard lateral buoy (FL G 4s), if practicable.
