The Port of Oslo is strategically located at the
top of the 100 km long Oslofjord - right in the middle of the most industrialized
and populated areas of Norway.
The city of Oslo is one of Europe's oldest cities, founded in the
year 1050 by the Vikings. No doubt it was the sea and its perfect and
protected location which gave birth to the port and later given status

Tradition and experience have given the port of Oslo the position
it commands today. The capital of Oslo is one of the worlds leading
maritime centers and few cities, if any, can match the know how and
insight into maritime affairs as found in Oslo.
The Port of Oslo Authority„s mandate dates back
to the Port Act of 1735. For more than 260 years the port has grown
and developed to serve the industries and needs of modern Norway.
