Entering Drammen harbour
Good accessibility and maritime safety in the waterway to Drammen harbor is a high priority for the Norwegian Coastal Administration. Over time, the fairway has become shallower as a result of sedimentation from the Drammen river. The flood events of recent years, including storm Hans in 2023, have contributed to further sedimentation. There have been reports of groundings in the area, and today's depth conditions limit sailing. To ensure sufficient sailing depth for quays in the harbour, it is necessary to dredge the seabed to remove sediments that have settled over time. The project includes maintenance dredging in the fairway at Strømsøløpet and Tangenrenna. The measure involves: Dredging of approximately 70, 000 m³ of loose masses Dredging to a depth of 5.5-10 metres, depending on the sub-area Handling of clean to moderately polluted masses in line with current permits Reusing the masses in the filling at Holmen As the project is considered to be well suited as a pilot project to develop and adopt innovative solutions for emission-free plant operation of dredging work, the Coastal Administration in this procurement will place great emphasis on environmental and climate considerations when evaluating the offers.
