Slagen (NOSGE)

The oil and gas terminal consists of a single finger jetty which extends 0.3nm N from the N coast at Slagentangen. The jetty and nearby refinery are operated by Esso Norge AS. The refinery converts crude oil, mainly from the North Sea, into LPG, white and black oil products and sulphur free diesel.

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

Slagen is situated approx 5nm S of Horten on the W side of Oslofjord.

LOA 350m, draught 19.0m ,190,000DWT.

Approx 10,500,000t of cargo, 700 vessels are handled annually.

Three anchorages are available, in depths of 50-60m, situated 0.6nm respectively NNW, N and NE from the pier head. Anchorage closer to the jetty than the charted anchorages is prohibited due to the presence of cables and a submersible oil boom.

The deep water approach to the jetty is marked by private leading lights. The leading lights for approaching the quay at Slagen are exhibited, the front light from near the head of the quay and the rear light from the shore 1.25nm NW of the front light, standing on the coast, 0.1nm SSE of another light, also on the coast, at Teigsverven. The alignment (308°) of these lights leads towards the jetty in a least depth of 25.0m from Slagen Lightbuoy (59°19.1'N 010°32.3'E).
