How to use the guideThis guide is intended to give seafarers useful information on facilities in ports. The guide is divided into main port areas, while smaller ports are described under the port area where they belong. When you know the name of the port or the dock your ship is calling at, please check the index on the last pages of the guide. The guide does not give a complete survey of the area you are visiting. The intention is to give you some basic information, and tell you where to pick up more detailed knowledge about “what’s on”.

Calling your home country:Telephone charges in Norway are among the cheapest in the world. When calling to a foreign country dial 00 and then the country code and the telephone number. Public telephone boxes accept 1, 5, 10, 20 kroner coins, or telephone cards that can be purchased locally.
